Government commences rehabilitation of Benin-Asaba highway
The Federal Ministry of Works has announced the commencement of the rehabilitation of the failed sections on the Benin-Asaba highway.
The Federal Controller of Works in Delta, Mr Matthew Ogar, made this announcement on Wednesday in Asaba.
Ogar said that the deplorable sections of the highway would be fixed in the next seven days.
He said the deplorable sections will immediately be fixed because they are causing gridlocks and untold hardship for motorists plying the route.
The Federal Controller sympathised with motorists plying the route, adding that the road was actually on contract.
“The contractor started the rehabilitation project from the Onitsha Head Bridge down to Alifekede, in Ika South Local Government of Delta, the boundary between Delta and Edo.
“The contractor has started work at Alifekede. At the time the contractor started work, the Asaba axis was in good condition.
“But, it was during this rainy season that the Asaba section failed.
“And immediately we noticed the failure, I drew the attention of the contractor to it and palliative work was carried out on that failed portion,” he said.
According to him, as of October 1, the contractor has started moving materials to the site, assuring motorists plying the route that the failed sections would be fixed between now and next week.
He reiterated that the total rehabilitation of the project was supposed to last for three years, adding that for now, the deplorable sections of the highway would be rehabilitated to ensure free flow of traffic.
