This is the pako-bridge that you must cross with your car if you are going from Igando to Ipaja-Ayobo, around the Ikotun area of Lagos State. The bridge was built by a resident of the community after the govt failed to provide a link road between the two areas making it difficult for residents to visit each other in spite of the short distance separating them. There was a swamp that lay between the two communities so residents had to travel long distances to gain access to their adjoining areas. To cross this bridge with your car you have to pay N200, pedestrians N20, tricycles N50.

The bridge looks dangerous to me. Hopefully, govt will do something about it, maybe bring it down and construct a modern bridge. Pics thanks to Bunmi Azeez
