The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola has confirmed the completion of the second Niger bridge he also stated the road will soon be available for public use immediately after the construction of the link road presently being submerged by flood. Fashola made this known during a press briefing to present to the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari's scorecard on the 19th of October 2022 in the nation's capital. He said, “I can confirm that the second Niger bridge itself is finished. People can walk through the bridge now unimpeded. What remains is the four-kilometer link road on the Asaba side.


“Right now, our dredger is in place, we have to rebuild the road by reclaiming sand, the recent surge of flood has slowed us down. On the Onitsha side, there is a 7kilometer road that links the bridge and the Onitsha-Owerri interchange.”
