The Bomadi Bridge is the first bridge connecting Bomadi town, in Delta State Nigeria, to the main land through the Forcados river.
Client: Delta State Government
Area: Delta, Nigeria
Project Value 50 Million USD
Initiation Date February, 2001
Completion Date June, 2005
The bridge consists of 36 m long spans with a total length of 612 m that crosses the Forcados river with a clearance of 10m.
The bridge’s substructure rests on Ø1300mm bored piles where barges were used for Axis in water. The bridge’s superstructure consists of simply supported 36m pre-cast post-tensioned beams.

The beam’s method of erection for the Bomadi bridge was based on extensive studies relating to the site’s challenging constraints. Generally, the delivery of the precast post-tensioned beams to the erection front is the determinant that influences the method of the erection system to be adopted. Setraco utilized a beam launcher capable of receiving beams directly from behind or below the erection system.
With this erection method, strand and winch lifting units were utilized, providing a safe and precise placement of the beams, and allowing multiple degrees of alignment and efficient rates of erection.
The project was a first of its kind as a launching system in Nigeria. It was a big challenge and was delivered with complete satisfaction from the Client.
Initiated and completed by the Ibori Administration. 13 years later he was honoured for that great deed.
Ibori na man you be. Congratulations Izonfini-Owei of Akugbene-Mein Kingdom

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...
