Lagos State is a land of opportunities. But with the opportunities come overpopulation, which causes intense congestion that threatens to paralyse the state, particularly concerning traffic gridlock. However, the Lagos State government has come up with a solution to deal with these pressures and that solution is building the Fourth Mainland Bridge.

The Fourth Mainland Bridge is a huge project in Lagos which will require billions of naira. The project has not started yet but it has already shown that there will be a lot of victims. Although the motive behind constructing the bridge is adjudged reasonable, even recommendable, many controversies surround it

The Fourth Mainland Bridge is a proposed 38 km long bridge project by the Lagos State Government connecting Lagos Island by way of Langbasa (Lekki) and Baiyeku (Ikorodu) across the Lagos Lagoon to Itamaga, in Ikorodu. The bridge is expected to become the second longest Bridge in Africa, featuring three toll plazas and 9 interchanges across a 4.5-kilometre Lagoon Bridge.
