Unilag Lagoon Front

 The University of Lagos is bordered by the Lagoon. Along its bank has been built a park where students usually spend time having fun, reading, discussing and plain just admiring the view. One can watch the Third Mainland Bridge economic rat race from the peaceful lagoon front.

I made these images a few weeks ago and only just found them out again to share.

Third Mainland Bridge


The Third Mainland Bridge links Mainland Lagos to the Lagos Island. It was recently partly shutdown for about two months to allow for repair works on some creaky joints. It caused a lot of difficulty for commuters who work on opposite sides of the divide as people had to spend hours on end to get to work and return home every day.

It's the longest bridge in Africa, about 11.8km long. It's the longest of the three bridges that connect the Island to the Mainland.
