The Niger Bridge was recently rehabilitated and barriers were placed on the bridge to create a median.
Some people claimed that the bridge was a two-lane road and that the median would create traffic jams. They claimed that nobody would be able to pass the bridge if a vehicle broke down on it. This is not true.
The bridge is actually a four-lane bridge and vehicles are able to go past any broken down vehicle on the bridge. This video illustrates that point.
A minibus broke down on the bridge and a large truck was able to go past it without problems.
