Work on the long-awaited second Niger bridge has commenced. Wolfgang Goetsch, Managing
Director of Julius Berger stated this at the 43rd annual general meeting of the
company in Abuja.
Goetsch also said the Federal Government had given Julius
Berger a letter of intent, which would enable it to do preliminary work such
as, soil testing and engineering design. According to him, the bridge is to be built under the
private public partnership arrangement.
Goetsch said: “A consortium that included a company from
South Africa participated in the bidding for the project. In January 2013, our
group became the preferred bidder. We are excited because it will be the first
of its kind in Nigeria”.
