Delta State Government has approved the award of contracts worth N78 billion to Julius Berger Nigeria Limited for the construction of three flyover bridges and road expansion in the Warri/Effurun megalopolis.

This was part of decisions reached at the State Executive Council meeting presided over by Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Tuesday in Asaba.

Briefing journalists at the end of the Exco meeting, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Works, Engr Fred Edafiogho said approval of the contracts were aimed at solving the gridlock often experienced in the twin cities.

He said the contracts included the design and construction of flyover bridge at Enerhen junction to Marine Gate; study, design and construction of road expansion and improvement works on the section of the DSC/NPA Expressway from Effurun roundabout to DSC roundabout including construction of a 3/4 Cloverleaf interchange at the existing Effurun Flyover Bridge as well as two pedestrian bridges.

Others are design and construction of flyover bridge at PTI junction and DSC roundabout along the Effurun/Patani, East-West highway, Effurun in Uvwie Local Government Area.

Mr Edafiogho further said that the project road expansion works on the DSC/NPA Expressway will provide two lanes of restricted carriageway at the centre for through-traffic and another two lanes of service road in each travel direction bring the current capacity of the road from four lanes to eight lanes.

He said side drains would be provided along the stretch to convey stormwater to the swamp that runs beside the road and pipeline in addition to provide free flow of traffic for a distance of 4.359km with cloverleaf interchanges and U-turns allowing for unimpeded flow.

He added that the four projects have a duration of 27 months with probable completion date of December 2025.

Commissioner for Works, (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze said Governor Oborevwori’s approval of the projects was in fulfillment of his promise to give Warri/Uvwie a face lift.

He said the justification for choosing Julius Berger was due to their experience and competitive pricing in relation to the quality of works and timely delivery of projects.

Also speaking, State Commissioner for Finance, Chief Fidelis Tilije said the contract was worth N78 billion while the state government would make 25 percent advance payment of N19.5 billion with the balance paid through an ISPO for 30 months.

Also speaking during the briefing, the Commissioner for Works in charge of Rural and Riverine Roads, Mr. Charles Aniagwu said that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori was deeply worried about the deplorable nature of federal roads across the state.

Mr. Aniagwu disclosed that the state Executive Council had directed the Ministries of Works (Highways and Rural Roads) to carry out remedial works on federal roads, particularly the Asaba-Benin Expressway and the Agbor-Eku Road with a view to making them more motorable for road users in the state.

Vinnie2000:


God Bless PDP Jare.👍🙂

A Party where Everyone has Sense of belonging.🙂🙂

Not the USELESS APC party that favours only Hausa/FULANIs and Yoruba Muslims. 😕😒

Christistruth00:
Delta People you don hear where your Money went

Make sure they build it and don't share your money

Go and spread Mats in front of their Office and take up Residence there
If that is what it will take to make sure they build the flyovers so that in 2 years time you will not be hearing the Story of how the money vanished
.sit on their necks if you need to

Vinnie2000:


God bless Ex Governor Ifeanyi Okowa for Stopping the USELESS party called APC from taking over Delta. 🙂🙏🏽🙏🏽

That Criminal Thug, Omo-Agege almost Deceived Deltans, like Buhari did to Nigerians in 2015. 🙁😒

Felimax:


Deltans fall my hand in the last election. For the first time they did not calculate it well.

I would have preferred the worst Atiku to that thing you have at Ask Rock.

After the failed presidential election and broad day robbery na once everybody eyes open.

APC - Tufia!

OmekaguGCFR1:
Very good it would have more better if he do 1 in state capital asaba

cadmanspize:
26 Billion per flyover? And i was fuming to soludo's inflated flyover's cost. Now i know the problem of delta d oil producing state.
. This is a real curse on deltans?

Vinnie2000:


Very Correct, Brotherly. 👍👍

After Okowa's and Buhari's Failures, we decided to give PETER OBI/LP our votes, because truly, both PDP and APC failed us.🙁🙂

But The worst of Okowa/PDP is BETTER than anything that that Evil party called APC has to offer.😏😒

TRULY as you said, after Presidential Election where we saw the Machinations of the Broom Party @the National level,
the Eyes of Deltans open once!😯😎

We were Almost Deceived by Omo-Agege and his Cunning APC goons.
Thank God for Okowa! 🙏🏽🙂

Felimax:


I don't want to talk about Obi because I honestly deeply know they only brought him in as a spoiler. I warned everyone that care to listen that they will never give Obi power, on several thread I did because I happen to be very close to an insider that was working for Omo-Agege and before all these became crystal he has already told me the template they are using.

Dey play
Omo-Agege invested a lot to that last election. They were cold calling virtually every Deltan they could and I was shocked to my bones how they got the phone numbers of virtually every eligible voter in Delta State. It was so serious.

If not for the fact that PDP is a grassroot party and Okowa been from Delta North forget na APC for dey there by now.

Deltans became more foolish with the Obidient mantra, most especially the political kids who has never voted before every plea fell on deaf ears but when they saw what APC did at the presidential they hurriedly ran back to PDP.

By now even the widows on payroll for nor see food chop!
Thank God for Sheriff and I thank God for PDP.

The worst PDP is far better than the best APC! Now I know!

Savedday2:
What is even wrong with our leaders? Enerhen junction doesn't need flyover. The flyover that will be beneficial to the people is Udu. Simple!
