Work on the Second bridge across the River Niger has been accelerated.

Staff reporter, Ogochukwu Oranu who visited Okoh town in Delta state , and Odekpe in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra state, where the bridge transverses, reports that heavy construction equipment , and Scientists were seen there.

Also seen was a team of Engineers laying beams that will carry the bridge as well as other construction works.


According to the report, a reliable source from Julius Berger, the construction company handling the project, explained that the second Niger Bridge, starts from Asaba Airport to Benin Expressway, linking Okoh and Amakom which will serve as the gateway to Odekpe and Atani respectively in Ogaru Local Government Area and then links the interchange at Obosi in Idemili North local Government Area, which is under the stage one of the project.


The source further disclosed that the Second Niger Bridge which the ground breaking ceremony was performed four years ago by former President Goodluck Jonathan, was awarded under public private partnership, adding that early work one and two , is carried out under the agreement by the present administration which decided to extend the project in a conventional way and re-awarded it under the Ministry of Power, Works and Housing , therby bridging the financial responsibility and brought Julius Berger back to site to carry out the early work three.


It was also gathered from the source that in February this year, early work four which was awarded has been executed up to forty percent.

It is expected that the Federal Government will award the contract for the main work to commence between now and August.

Today, i realized how confused our leaders were in the Nnewi mall where parking lot above a shopping mall where people will always visit. Instead of putting the parking under the mall, so that the less heavy building is on top, while the heavier parking lot with lots of vehicles are below the building.

Sometimes, i ask God why oyinbo man is a lot smarter than the black man? Our engineers reason no better than roadside mechanics. If they calculated the relative weight, they would have advised the state government properly on the folly of building suspended parking lots in the air above an Nnewi mall. Things of simple common sense such as these are too difficult for us to understand. Now they can't finish the building because the amount of concrete it would take to have a suspended parking lot in the air is outrageous for the state to afford. Not to mention that such structure will naturally collapse on a busy day when the entire parking space is filled to the brim with parked cars. The overbearing weight of cars, the poor Dangote concrete type and the cheap iron rods bought by the contractor to save construction cost will inevitably lead to a tragic collapse when people are inside the Nnewi mall shopping.

Chima, I totally agree the parking lot should be on the ground while the mall is on top. It makes every sense to do it that way.
But it might be too late to change the plan now. I don't think cars can drive in the ground floor meant for the store. The huge pillars are already in place. I think they should just make it a two storey mall and use the topmost floors for banks, a world class restaurant etc to recoup their construction cost in sinking those huge pillars hoping to build an elevated parking garage

This issue has been hammered and discussed in 2014. Four years after, the mall is yet to be delivered.

Stnomso:


is the nnewi mall still under construction or abandoned?

Obdk:



the mall is pending because of intra Nnewi issue based on how the government procured the land without due process.

Nnewi people insisted and want thr land back besides Nnewi people planned to use the land for d same purpose before government acquired it through the wrong source..

i think the land is going back to Nnewi people...
