The bridge at Tatabu village along Mokwa - Jebba road, which collapsed due to heavy rain fall last year, thereby halting vehicular movement from both sides, has been fixed and completed. The Federal Government said the collapsed Tatabu Bridge in Niger State, was rebuilt for N2.5 billion.

The bridge reportedly got an extra 250 and 200 metres access road from both ends.

Minister of State for Power Works and Housing II, Hassan Zarma, during an inspection, attributed the collapse to heavy vehicles plying the road, and poor maintenance culture.

He maintained that the project is part of the Federal Government’s commitment to fixing infrastructure decay.

Tatabu bridge, washed away, after a torrential rainfall, which left all categories of vehicles plying the busy road stranded for days while some trucks fell into the bridge but no life lost.

Good if all our bridges and roads can get road worthy at least

They waited for it to collapse before they do the needful

pls can Someone tell Ondo state gov Akeredolu that Ala river in Akure is causing flooding, because government refuse to dredge the river and refuse has filled the available bridge...

It will still collapse and be reconstructed come next year. The nation is a failure and we strive so hard never to be a product of it.

We have wonderful citizens but government corruptible nature n evilish policies be turning some good eggs bad...

Certain factors have to be considered

Is the bridge but on top of water or not?

Building a bridge on water and building a bridge on land are veeeeeeery different things

Nice job from the ministry of works. Just that it took a bit longer than it should have.
