WARRI: GOVERNOR UDUAGHAN COMMISSIONS EFFURUN FLYOVER




The Governor of Delta State, Dr. Emmanuel Eweta Uduaghan, CON, has commissioned the newly built Effurun flyover in the continued gale of projects commissioning, which is blowing across the State.

Only last week the Governor had earlier commissioned another flyover built at the InterBau roundabout in Asaba. The scope of the works in the Effurun flyover included a 120 metre-long six-span bridge, two ramps of about 140 meters each on either approach bringing it to a total of 400 metres long, “the entire bridge/ramps structure is a four-lane dual carriage way, comprising of two in each travel direction demarcated with a New Jersey Barrier.”

The rapid growth of the Effurun-Udu-Warri commercial metropolis, including the huge oil and gas industry, maritime activities in our State and neighbouring Niger Delta States in addition to being a major East-West intersection, have greatly impacted on the volume of vehicular traffic on the this roundabout resulting in serious traffic gridlock. The attendant inconveniences and loss of man-hours have all combined to make this flyover an urgent economic and social necessity.



The completion and commissioning of this project will no doubt improve the perennial traffic challenges encountered by motorists and address this situation to positively impact on the socio-economic life of the Warri-Effurun-Udu metropolis and the nation in general.
