The
Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, today in Asaba, the
capital of Delta State, commissioned the recently completed flyover bridge. The
flyover is located at Nnebisi-Okpanam-Anwai Roads and Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan Way
intersection, in the Asaba metropolis.
The
strategic importance of this flyover in the political, social and economic life
of the capital city will best be measured by the relief it will give to
residents, visitors and transporters generally. It is located at this four-way
junction, which connects the new town to the old. This intersection is a major
link to different arms of the State government’s bureaucracy and different
commercial hubs, which together with other factors, have tremendously increased
traffic at this intersection, especially at peak hours.
With
the completion of Utor Bridge at Ebu, which was commissioned by the Vice
President, His Excellency, Arch. Namadi Sambo, GCON, in November 2014, the
Ugbolu road now constitutes a major arterial route for traffic from the
South-South and South-East States through Edo State to Abuja and to other parts
of northern Nigeria. This has further justified the timeliness of this flyover
in facilitating easy movements between the southern and northern parts of our
dear country.
The
construction of the flyover is a deliberate attempt by the Dr. Uduaghan’s
administration to remove major bottlenecks that would portend very serious
impediments to free flow of traffic in this major intersection and the city in
general, in order to save valuable man hours, including the new pressure on the
road as a gateway between the southern and northern parts of the country. There is no doubt whatsoever that this
flyover will also transform the skyline of Asaba.
The
Governor reminded Deltans that the Governorship and House of Assembly elections
are coming up this Saturday, April 11 and enjoined Deltans to remain peaceful
and vote for the PDP to continue enjoying more benefits of democracy in all
parts of the State.
