Carter Bridge, Road bridge in Lagos, Nigeria
The Carter Bridge extends across Lagos Lagoon for 0.53 kilometers, connecting Iddo on the mainland to the Idumota district of Lagos Island.
Constructed in 1901 during British colonial rule, the bridge underwent complete reconstruction in the late 1970s by Borini Prono Nigeria Limited.
The bridge serves as a commercial zone where local vendors establish small trading points, selling refreshments to commuters passing through.
The structure functions as one of three primary bridges linking Lagos mainland to Lagos Island, reducing traffic congestion on neighboring routes.
Following structural concerns in 2003, the Lagos State government implemented a fine of 50,000 naira for vehicles parking on the bridge.
