A collapsed twin bridge and road along the ever-busy Abakaliki-Enugu Highway have been rehabilitated by the Federal Roads Management Agency, FERMA, in Ebonyi State.
The dead trap portion of the highway for a year now has been a nightmare to motorists and other road users.
The area, located very close to the popular Ukwuachi on the expressway, almost became impassable, with accidents and robbery incidents occurring daily.
Akinyemi Ojo, Maintenance Engineer of FERMA, Ebonyi State Field Office, noted that the route became life-threatening following a washout on the road.
“We have repaired the washout, made provision for the retaining wall, and filled back the eroded place. We did our work there, and we have asphalted the place.
“We have about two projects in that particular place. There is a spot on the road where people are having accidents on that bridge. So, we have been able to fill this pothole on that road,” he said.
Ojo stated that FERMA will commence another rehabilitation work on another section of the Abakaliki-Enugu highway that was constructed with concrete, which has also become life-threatening for motorists and other road users.
“We are commencing another one on that same Abakaliki-Enugu highway. We have some patching on the concrete road that was constructed some years ago. There is an area that develops a fault. We are now attending to that road,” he said.
He decried the state of many federal roads in the state, including Okposi-Nara Road, Abakaliki-Oferekpe Road, Oso Edda-Abia State Border Road, Nguzu-Ohafia Abia State Road, Ishiagu Mile 2 Abia State Border Road, and Afikpo-Okigwe Highway, among others.
He explained that FERMA has reported the roads to the federal government for urgent attention to save motorists and other road users from untold hardship.
