According to Vanguard, Ag Controller of Works in Anambra, Mr Seyi Martins said this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Awka on Monday.

The first phase of the project, which was the bridge itself, is substantially completed. The bridge project is 95 per cent complete and it is expected to be ready by December 2022.
The steel guard rails are complete, the roads are set for vehicle traffic; the toll plaza area is almost completed, and what is left is the installation of toll booth canopies.
The second phase of the project is yet to commence, but the government has deemed it fit that upon completion of the first phase it will be open to traffic.
At the Onitsha end, there is an interchange at Obosi along the Onitsha – Owerri highway where you can access the bridge.
There is a link road we are constructing to enable travelers to access the bridge from Benin-Onitsha road.
