Nwokem listen up, barricades are done in places where there is alternative routes. Go to some areas in Lagos they are now adopting it to avert future incidents of container falling or heavy duty vehicle accidents on the flyovers. It is something that is done for safety of motorists and not because of anything else. Just look at the container on the Awka flyover, you could even notice that it is already about to fall off if care is not taken. The governor is just being proactive. Look at the pictures below of my earlier scenario

XerXers:

have you ever seen any barricade on a federal expressway??

ruggedized1:
Omenka, I don;t know how else to explain this. I have been there several times so I know what am talking about.

Okay oo.

LAFO:
Nice info.



How can we be careful while using please?

Drive with only two tires and make sure you don't hunk your horn or turn on your AC while driving

omenkaLives:
I was hoping to see our engineers in the house point to this but have been disappointed no one ever did. happy to see someone finally noticed it.

I'm not an engineer but when I saw the design of the bridge, being an avid fan of National Geographic, I couldn't stop scratching my head when I heard people call the bridge a "suspension" bridge! I have seen countless number of suspension bridges and known for a fact the hangers are meant to suspend the deck, running from pillars poles apart. But in this case, the hangers don't even seen to be holding any weight at all but rather seem be be in place just for aesthetics, and the bulk weight week to be overwhelming the pullers doing the actual weight lifting.

this is a fatal design flaw if you ask me, and this is no "suspension" bridge for the hangers aren't really what is holding the deck but the pillars beneath the deck are.

Suspension bridge . Naija no go kill person. If they had used a material like carbon or glass reinforced fibre for that "design or props", it will be at least 3 times lighter (reduced dead weight) and three times stronger than that lump of steel. But will be a bit expensive. But you know my people will always buy the cheapest of the cheap. The designer is not necessarily at fault provided the right materials are used.

That weight will create a creep. If I tell a grown man to carry a 1kg weight, he will say it's rubbish but carry that 1kg weight for 2 hours, and you will know what's up. That's exactly what will happen there.

"FEDERAL EXPRESSWAY" is the keyword here. Enugu-Onitsha Expressway is A-grade Federal highway and nobody has the right to barricade it. There are numerous state owned roads where obiano can do his barricading.

Probably safety does not matter to you because it is a federal road. Did you look at pictures I showed you and how the governor is being proactive?

Nobody barricade a federal expressway, it is that simple. Even the lights are an obstruction that should be dismantled as observed by Ngige

Passion, a responsible government can barricade a federal road against heavy duty vehicle so far as there is an alternative route and in this case an alternative route is provided for.

A responsible government does not build substandard flyover on a federal expressway. Why is Nkpor not being barricaded?? are there no alternatives there? or is not in the same anambra state? The barricade has nothing to do with accident prevention but fear of collapse

Lol, Obiano's barricade on federal expressway is the topic not okpa

You are a hopeless fool. The flyover is standard. The flyover was only barricaded against heavy duty vehicles to avoid containers falling off. Nkpor fly will still be barricaded to avert the situation we see where containers fall.

Nkpor was constructed years before obiano came to office, no barricade until his substandard flyover started failing??

The solution is simply to remove that overload. The curve on that bridge looks rickety anyway.

confirming that the flyover is substandard, simple

It is a worldclass standard flyover. Deal with it

Bitter dunce. Owerri flyover should be removed completely because it has collapsed before being used.

Now compare the 2. Lol

world class being saved from imminent collapse through illegal barricading?

Even the Nkpor flyover isn't left out of the substandard scandal. The only reason they don't make news is because the people are not much interested.

Abagworo:

This is the approach road to the flyover and not the flyover itself, its a poor job on the drainage flow which was remedied by Obiano (not without the usual fanfare) and there was no barricading afterwards

You are crying already. See the place fixed and intact and not your useless Imo state

I know how bitter you are right now..lol

Now compare both flyovers and tell us which is out of alignment, rickety and substandard.

1. Owerre flyover

2 & 3. Awka flyover

Lest we forget. See the newly completed Owerri rat hole tunnel already waterlogged

That place has since been redesigned and reconstructed to tackle the flooding, tell obiano to demolish the failing portions of his flyover and do same

Who is this lying gay?

See okorocha's flyover and tunnel already collapsed

Just loot at the way they using manual labor with bucket and shovel to do the useless culvert, this can collapse on people.

Obiano's flyover. Now compare it to that substandard nonsense built by Okoroawusa LOL
