The Federal Government has opened the Second Niger Bridge for public use.

It was gathered that the 1.6 kilometres long bridge, which links Anambra and Delta states, was opened at about 9:50 a.m. on Thursday.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, last Thursday, said the Second Niger Bridge would be open to traffic from December 15, 2022, to January 15, 2023, to ease the experience of travellers during Yuletide break.

There was heavy security presence at the bridge to ensure safety of lives and property.
