According to him, the bridge would be three meters wide and would be friendly for people with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant women because it would have lifts on both sides of the bridge.
"The shape is artistic, each bridge is different. It's not just functional but aesthetically pleasing to the eye, it can be used for taking photos of pedestrians and can accommodate people with disabilities, there is also lighting and some use elevators," he uttered.
