The only Pedestrian Bridge in Edo state is currently under construction.

The Pedestrian Bridge is being constructed across a federal highway - the Benin-Lagos expressway. It is situated in front of the main gate of the University of Benin (UNIBEN), Ugbowo campus, Benin city.

The project is being funded by the Godwin Obaseki-led Edo state government.

Currently, no pedestrian bridge exists in Edo state. However, this pedestrian bridge is not going to be the first to be constructed in the state.

The first Pedestrian Bridge was constructed in the early ‘90s.  It was constructed about 500 meters away from where one is being built now. It was built in front of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).

That UBTH Pedestrian bridge - the first to be built in Edo state -  suffered severe lack of usage. Ostensibly, this led to its eventual dismantling and disappearance from that location. That Pedestrian Bridge was constructed by Lucky Igbinedion, during his stint as the Chairman of Oredo Local Government council.

It could be recalled that several students of the University  of Benin (UNIBEN) have lost their lives while attempting to cross the ever-busy Benin-Lagos expressway to the institution’s campus. The most recent being the one involving a certain Late Rita Awele.

All these informed the decision by the Edo state government to construct a pedestrian bridge in front of the UNIBEN main gate.

The Pedestrian Bridge, which has reached an advance stage of construction, is being built by Hartland Construction Company.

Tank you my broda, no mind d publisher of dis dead news. There is one pedestrian bridge at Auchi poly. The stupid publisher shud say no pedestrian bridge in Benin City....

kitone:

With the number of death that have occurred on that road,number of students that have been killed, its not only stupid ,its also annoying to call it a waste of funds .not less than 30 students have died on that road when I was in uniben .I have always wonder why a bridge could not been constructed considering number of people that run across the express every day.the last time I was in Benin I noticed a speed bumb on the express .it looks bizarre and dangerous for driver especially at night.so go and check the meaning of elephants projects. This is certainly not one.kudos to the government
Hey, shut up you mouth. You are the person been stupid here. It’s because of rare occasions of death that speed break were constructed there. Multiple speed breaks. And ever since then there have been no accident and/or recorded involving a pedestrian. Majority of Nigerians don’t use pedestrian bridges reason Lagos state government put a penalty for not making use of it. Except edo state government does something similar to Lagos state government by enforcing it. Only few people would use it.
