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.

I rember using the old bridge for the first time, i have never been that scared in my life. Like you said, [b]the bridge was first situated in front of the UBTH gate. It was later moved closer to the Uniben maingate [/b]before it was destroyed when the government decided to expand the express road.

Was it a mobile bridge?

diz is an insult to so called educated masses "

The project is being funded by the Godwin Obaseki-led Edo state government." is it not the fundamental duty of a government?? Is it his personal funds? Diz is why ordinary wage increase is causing alot of hullabaloo...They pay u ur salary and ask u to pose with alerts and cheque because they are doing u a favour...

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

Bros lie with caution na, haba. I spent 4 years in Uniben and it just a student that died during that interval. Mind you there was no speed bumps then. How did 30 now die during yours? How many years you spend for school?
