So many things have damaged. Even as I don\u2019t want to sound alarmist but the fact remains that the bridge has been badly damaged, but we will fix it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe present administration is committed to full rehabilitation because that is the only way to secure the lives and property. So, we have started the rehabilitation, which will be done in record time. This is not the first time we are doing such rehabilitation, as similar thing was done at Apapa.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fashola, who used the opportunity to appeal for the cooperation of Lagos State over trading and other activities going on under the bridge, said that the burnt part of the bridge at Apongbon would not have happened if people were not trading there.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe are appealing to the Lagos State government to ensure that all trading activities under the bridges in the state stop. We seek the cooperation of Ministry of Transportation, Environment, Local government Law enforcement agencies to help us preserve our bridges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on the extent of the damages, Director of Construction for Messrs. Buildwell Plants and Equipment Industries Ltd., Engr. George Mohanda said that most of the bearing of the bridge needs to be changes, some parts are about to collapse if not for the intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Mohanda said: \u201cWe have commenced the rehabilitation exercises and the scope for completion is 24 months. We would have done earlier than that but because we are not allow to close the bridge completely so it make the work slow a little.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to the vision of Honourable Minister and we have record of delivering project in record time. We have categories the affected areas into 1 to 5 and work is ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Permanent Secretary, Lagos State Ministry of Transportation, Mr. Kamar Olowoshago said that the state government is willing to support in any way that will ensure quick completion of the project.<\/p>\n<p>Olowoshago said: \u201cThe Ministry of Transportation will be available to monitor the process and provide assistance where necessary to ensure that contractor have a smooth operation.
