The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has commissioned the Oyingbo Overpass Bridge in preparation for the launch of the Lagos Rail Mass Transit Red Line project.

The Red Line Rail Project will start from Ebute Metta in Oyingbo, all the way down to Agbado. It will reduce train-vehicle interaction on the Red Line Rail, which will also reduce accidents on the axis.

Governor Sanwo-Olu, in his speech at the event, spoke about the essence of the Overpass Bridge, among others.

The governor said it would serve as an alternative during the closure of the third mainland bridge.

He also said several students from institutions of higher learning were exposed to bridge construction while the project lasted.

Also present at the occasion were: Lagos Deputy Governor, Obafemi Hamzat; Lagos Assembly members; Minister of Power, Adebayo Adelabu; government functionaries; party chieftains; traditional rulers; and several other functionaries.
