Governor Babatunde Fashola on Sunday switched on the lights of the 6km
Carter Bridge, the oldest bridge in Lagos, southwest Nigeria.The bridge, built in 1901 was rebuilt in 1973 and had for several years
been devoid of capacity traffic at night as the place is always dark,
while hoodlums had a field day robbing people.At least 166 street lights have been installed on the bridge, with 52
attachments on the poles to illuminate the walkways, 204 indicator
lights and 48 blue reflective lights placed underneath the bridge as
well as lighting under the bridge that reflects the Lagos colours on
water.
The bridge is the first in the country to have street lightings powered
by an Independent Power Plant. The Carter Bridge project covers public
lighting starting from the Idumota area to Ijora Olopa, Iddo Terminus
and towards the Third Mainland Bridge, Adeniji, Ebute Ero and Ofin.
