I use to think tunnels where ideal in places with hill and valleys, owerri has a flat land and I dont see the necessity of the tunnel.

I could be wrong.

OP you are just short sighted.

what is it?

WhoRUDeceiving:


what is it?

it's like a mini over head bridge. Is it not the one in Orji road?

Is not even up to the size of the one around Maryland, Lagos built way back in the 70's!

This is laudable nah!

People are always pontificating what a city "needs" or not.
Meanwhile, apart from Abuja, no city in Nigeria truly has adequate infrastructure as it should.

BTW, that isn't a tunnel. That is an Underpass. Which is different from an overpass which we refer to as "flyover' in Nigeria.

Is this what u called 'a tunnel'?

Something wey a child go crawl from start to finish in 10 seconds.

Allow this man do his work na! No be ur state e dey develop?

I don't think that one can be called a tunnel too. Maybe an underpass.

In migeria we have our own names for things so it cant be over pass, underpass & if cant be a tunnel then it is a FLY UNDER.

That's a glorified box culvert. It's built submerged to accommodate another road above it.

Yes, lt is an underpass. l was trying to communicate that OP's calling that a tunnel is wrong.

you just opened a thread to discredit Rochas,you ended up fooling yourself.

that place is at portharcort road inside owerri town. if u walk straight from there u wud see concord hotel & children's park.
Its nt at orji.

if you've got flyover, then the next is crawl under....btw, no tunnel anywhere in nigeria, what we have here and in Lagos are bith underpass.

Abagworo, come and see these people calling your hero's tunnel an underpant abi na underpass dem call am

Rochas should visit Ebeano Tunnel in Enugu to learn what a proper tunnel looks like. Enugu has the best infrastructure in South East

Egbon take suffry dey lie na, haba! The Maryland tunnel abi na underpass, was built by FG when Lagos was still the capital of Nigeria. Do you take many us to be indomie generation or what? Btw, that is not a tunnel but it looks good & New Owerri is among the most beautiful neighbourhoods I have seen in Nigeria.

Even Aki and pawpaw would bend their heads to walk past under this culvert tunnel. Honeslty this looks more like a large gutter/water channel.

@proeast, who doesn't know that ikorodu road is a federal road but l was trying to communicate that the one at Maryland that is bigger than the one posted is not even a tunnel but an underpass!
