The multibillion dollar Eko Atlantic City, being developed in Lagos State, has made significant progress in its infrastructural development with the completion of 14 bridges, its developer has said.<\/p>\n

The bridges, built to international standard, in phases one and two, extend to over five million square metres, representing half of the planned city.<\/p>\n

Work on the bridge started in December 2014, when the first bridge deck was cast and the last one completed last December.\u00a0 Phases one and two of the city are divided into eight districts \u2013 Harbour Lights, Business Districts, Eko Drive, Marina, Ocean Front, Down town, Eko Energy Estate and Avenues.<\/p>\n

They are planned for mixed-use with commercial, residential, entertainment and leisure\u00a0 to make the city a 24\/7 environment. With the new bridges, all the districts are now accessible by road.<\/p>\n

The bridgeworks have formed a major element of the works and it has also enabled all major avenues to overpass the canal system running through the spine of the project.<\/p>\n

The bridges are between two and eight lanes. For instance, Bridge seven comprises a six-lane carriageway and is located on Avenue 1, thus defining the western boundary of the Business District, the commercial heartland of the city.\u00a0 Spanning 52 metres overall in three sections, Bridge seven is typical of the design utilised throughout all bridges and comprises a reinforced concrete cast\u00a0 with concrete piers and abutments.<\/p>

Also, post-tensioning techniques were employed on the horizontal deck to achieve the span required. The last bridge was constructed to overpass the canal entrance to the Soutwest Marina, defining the marine access to the Atlantic Ocean.<\/p>\n

South Energy Nigeria Limited (SENL), a subsidiary of the Chagoury Group, Managing Director, Mr David Frame, said the firm is committed to ensuring that the project is completed on schedule.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the successful completion of all the bridges, all the major avenues within Phase 1 and 2 of the City are now fully interconnected, with the comprehensive road network of the City defined and all zones accessible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Last November, the first Eko Pearl Towers, a residential building in its Marina District, was unveiled.\u00a0 Its inauguration by the Lagos State Governor Akinwunmi Ambode came months after the city\u2019s Eko Boulevard opening, the country\u2019s first eight-lane city road.<\/p>\n
