Okoroawusa accepted this.... That dude is just a clown. In a sane Society, he could have resigned because of this colossal failure.

From what I saw in the pix, that should be an expansion joint. Though it was not treated well, but IMHO its not a crack or a failure. Unless there are some other things I didn't see.

Thanks OP. I was in owerri 2015 when they built that tunnel. Believe me it is a death trap. I don't know why Okorocha is wasting money doing stupid projects. Look at the pedestrian bridge at imsu junction, only in Imo I see where they construct bridge with 6 inches blocks. Even the fly over immediately after imsu junction.

Although I hate Rochas for owing workers in favor of flowers and unnecessary urbanisation that do not reflect on the lives of imo people but this "one" isn't on him. it's just a poorly treated surface. Nothing is wrong with it.

haba, thats a joint where two slabs meet, the engineer should go and cover it up with a filler.it must be given way due to weather condition.
Filler? In a tunnel? undecided it's not screeding job my guy.

Nonsense.

Nothing is wrong here, that's an expansion joint. Structural cracks don't go this way, usually slanted.

I was born & bred in Owerri.

In my lifetime, I've never seen a governor as useless as Rochas Okorocha.

Never ever gets done properly except to owe workers & pensioners..

Imagine an underground tunnel just constructed barely 2yrs ago has given way just like that.

Too bad!!!!

so it is okorocha that is owing pensioners, pension of about 20 years when he has been govrnor for just 4 years...chai naija sha

Please avoid Concord junction tunnel for now. Also inform your loved ones living in Owerri.

But Owerri people were praising and shouting "Owelle Mere Ya" - Owelle has done great - when Gov. Owelle Rochas Okorocha was building tunnels where there were no hills in Owerri, where roundabouts or traffic lights would have perfectly served human and vehicular traffics;

They praised when Okorocha was building flyovers in Owerri at junctions where roundabouts or traffic lights would have perfectly served traffic.

As Owelle was building those structures including 5 Inland roads where no body lived, where just one of those Inland roads could have perfectly served the purpose, there were practically no more passable roads in Orlu and Okigwe, the two other principal cities in Imo state.

No Owerri man reminded their Owelle that Orlu and Okigwe are also parts of Imo state.
Re: Avoid Concord Junction Tunnel Owerri, Imo State (Photo) by kikake: 2:07am On Sep 26, 2017
Owerri people see tunnels and flyovers as symbols of Owerri becoming a Mega Metropolitan City. But in reality, flyovers and tunnels are very disadvantageous to a city because they waste space and cause too much obstruction, apart from being very expensive to erect and sustain.

Tunnels and flyovers are the last resort which urban city planners go to in a city not well planned.

Hatred for people in one other city in Imo state is reason why the governor made Owerri the only city he knows for development in Imo state, after expanding about 5 km of existing roads in Orlu and Okigwe in 2012 but left many more kilometers abandoned in Orlu and Okigwe since 2012.

And it's believed that no Jupiter can ever make Okorocha return to Orlu and Okigwe to complete those abandoned roads.

Re: Avoid Concord Junction Tunnel Owerri, Imo State (Photo) by safetyInspector(m): 4:33am On Sep 26, 2017
That is a good safety observation. Yes I agree that it is an expansion joint but does that structure look like a completed project? Even expansion joint of culvert should not look that much bad.

Look at how ignorant you've shown yourself to be. How do you get to Akwa Ibom state from Anambra state(and other states in that region) without passing through Imo state?
From Imo, you get to Umuahia, then that area where they have Michael Okpara University and then onward to Akwa Ibom.
