Fun fact: Before the Enugu-Onitsha express way was constructed, one must encounter this scary road on a trip to Anambra from Enugu.

Those nostalgic years me and my dad use to travel on this road. Very scenic but dangerous to navigate on a truck or lorry.

It's called engineering.
The gradient will be too large with a straight road.
Same reason why ramps on pedestrian bridges and staircase are not built straight from bottom to top.
I hope you can relate now?

Bush man. That road you're seeing is older than your grand parents. Ask the engineers why the spiral design.

They just made it zig zag for the sake of it. Is it some kind of tourist attraction capable of generating foreign inflow of revenue?

That place should be a tourist destination if the state knows how to market it's topographical resources.

A cultural or historical monument can be built at the beginning or the end of the road, if it's just the Christmas time holiday travelers coming in, being the peak period, it's something.

Then the scenery can be exploited by the movie industry and art enthusiasts as well as lovers of nature.

Check "Eagle's Nest" built by Hitler in Germany, on similar height on YouTube.

We rest.

You can't have a straight road on such a steep slope, the zig zag pattern reduces the effect of gravity on vehicles.

The greenery in Nigeria is not being explored enough tbh cool

Leaders that know how to explore the environment can do wonders in their states without trying too hard. Beyond the material benefits (beautification), it has well-proven positive implications on mental health and productivity.

Many people are m.ad in Lagos because there's barely any meaningful space for plantations.. buildings, high-rise buildings, markets, cars, and humans at every fvking space, driving many people insa.e without even knowing. One major reason Abuja remains a better place - greenery.

Straight road would make the car to descent without balance hence the decision to zigzag it.

City man that road must have been hidden in some archive and I guess your grand parents were the ones that discovered it.
