Julius Berger Nigeria Plc. has taken a major step towards early completion of the ongoing Opebi-Ojota-Mende link bridges and roads, when it launched the first few beams on the bridges to signify the completion of critical aspects of the project.

According to the Project Manager, Dmytriy Denysenko, with the launching of the beams on the unveiled pillars, the project is now headed for completion as scheduled.

“After the piling we did in July 2022, this is the next and most important stage of the project. It is one of the major stages of the project. When the beams are placed, we proceed with the decks, and slabs casting. After that, just a little more work will be required to complete the work planned for May this year,” Denysenko said.

In all, he said no fewer than 228 pre-stressed beams will be launched on the bridge to move the project forward.

Meanwhile, Lagos State through the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure, has commended the firm for the quality of work done so far.

Assistant Director in the Ministry of Works, Soyombo Adesanya commended the construction firm for the progress and good quality works done so far. He said that the government plans to visit the project site more often in the coming weeks to follow up on the progress being made.

While flagging off the project on January 26, 2022, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu flagged off the Ojota-Opebi link bridges and approach roads tasking Julius Berger to complete the project earlier than the scheduled time.

Apart from Denysenko, Frank Rutten and Rasheedat Anifowoshe were on the Julius Berger team at the event. (The Guardian)
