He said, “We’re working on a number of bridges inherited; we inherited construction work on Eko bridge, Marina bridge, Liverpool bridge, all done by Build well. “Even the Independence bridge and Iganmu bridge; on top of the bridges, we have almost finished the deck job, though we are extending the deck job, and then we are also constructing CCTV and observation room.“These are the works that are going on under the deck.“We’ll be doing a meeting with Julius Berger to look at one of the most serious and challenging jobs, and that is the work that is right below the pier caps, that’s the piles and then the decks bed.
