Lagos state’s Third Mainland Bridge is one of the longest bridges in Africa and the modern Lekki-Ikoyi link bridge is a symbol of engineering masterpiece. Not all bridges in the city are easily passable. The slum parts of the city are usually at the receiving end of neglect. The Igando-Ayobo Bridge is a wooden bridge that connects the two areas. The deteriorating state of the bridge is a cause of worry for the residents and commuters in the area.
