A viral video has surfaced showing the Benin–Asaba Expressway in a devastating condition after hours of heavy rainfall. The once-busy highway has now turned into a muddy, flooded nightmare, with deep potholes, stranded vehicles, and frustrated commuters battling to move through the chaos.

Drivers and passengers could be seen wading through knee-deep water as trucks and cars got stuck for hours, causing major traffic gridlock. Many residents have taken to social media to lament the poor state of federal roads and the lack of proper drainage systems in the area.

The video has since sparked outrage, with citizens calling on both the Edo and Delta State governments, as well as the Federal Ministry of Works, to take immediate action and fix the collapsing road before it becomes completely impassable.

🎥 Watch the full clip to see how terrible the situation has become — and hear what stranded motorists had to say.

Pictures of the deplorable conditions of the road.

EDO is shining from nothing to nothing 😂😂😂

Make una tell Tinubu to kukuma turn that road to federal fish pond na

Umahi and FG are nor interested.

They are more interested in the Coastal Highway to fraud

This is AI. All the roads are fixed.

Please write a letter to my brother, he will look into it and get the road fixed.
Just write him asap.

These should be top priority but people are cheering over secondary Coastal highway---good venture but low on the scale of preference. Understandably, it is a conduit to recover funds expended in 2023 election.

APC till eternity! Who dies first loses.

Na coastal road dey Umahi head. Rubbish!!

Genius J

Shameful!

Character will do no shit...

Dave Umahi don't have time for all this ones, he is preoccupied with Coastal Highway.

Come over to asaba and see the worst at bonsaac-junction and former -deputy government house,
Then you will confirm that naija no get roads as for now,no good road in Nigeria especially, federal roads

It's well, it's only God that is serving road users in this country

Once the Coastal road is complete, there will be less traffic on some of these roads which will make repair work easier and quicker . A road like this will go from main / primary link road to alternate / secondary route connection.
But some, one way thinkers and myopic people will tell you not to construct a new road untill all the existing one are fixed.

I sorry for travellers on that road this Christmas. See one of the busiest federal roads in the county. Lagos-Benin-Asaba-Onitsha highway should be prioritised but Umahi seems to be preoccupied with other matters.

Umahi is building a super highway for Tunibu
This one no concern them

This is just too terrible!

Tinubu is constructing coastal highway to looting land...

later he will look into it

After looting public funds this is what ur leaders leave for u to suffer.

That's the problem...

the coastal road is not to solve a problem it is to create problem by polluting the atlantic ocean.

Renewed hopelessness APC will soon edit the video like governor Amuneke and use it to decieve the gullibles for 2027. Very hopeless lots.

Some of the roads are designed for maximum 50 tonnes load and one will find in excess of 120 tonnes trucks on them such that they are destroyed within 3 to 5 years.

If Una one enjoy una go thread accordingly.

You have a brilliant point there. In any event, that road would still have to be rebuilt using the standard method of using bitumen.

Second, Edo State is part of the huge bitumen belt which has the 2nd largest bitumen reserve in the world after that of Canada and the bitumen belt extends from Lagos to Ogun to Ondo (Ondo State is the epicenter of the bitumen reserves) and Edo States. Yet nothing is being done to maximize the extraction of bitumen using bitumen refineries for road construction and other value additions. The Nigerian bitumen reserves is officially worth more in value than the entire crude oil reserves in Nigeria!
