point of correction OP. The first bridge was built on the same spot with this current one, then it was demolished dismantled and rebuilt (re-fixed) before UBTH gate.
Now it has been demolished dismantled again and brought back a new one constructed in its former position which is b4 UNIBEN. (Useless leaders we have, wasting money anyhow)

The old one was a metallic (iron) structure and that's why they could easily dismantle it and fix it in another location. You can't do such with this new and concrete one.

Lolzzzz

I haven't seen where edo was insulting.

Stop behaving like a child and go back to school so that u can differentiate distinctively the difference between insult and a straight statement.

Education matters try and obtain one.

The new and only Pedestrian Bridge in Benin-city, the Edo state capital, is now open for public use.

The Pedestrian Bridge is situated across a federal highway – the Benin-Lagos expressway – in front of the main gate of the University of Benin (UNIBEN).

The Pedestrian Bridge was constructed by the Godwin Obaseki-led Edo state government.

Before now, no pedestrian bridge existed in the Benin-city. Though, this new pedestrian bridge is not the first to be constructed in the state capital.

The first Pedestrian Bridge was constructed in the early ‘90s. It was constructed about 500 meters away from where this new one is located. It was built in front of the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH).

The 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 new Pedestrian Bridge was constructed by Hartland Construction.

In dis same state no job, ,,,,the harsh truth is let d country just broke up so we can know exactly where fault is coming from

The truth is that they will not allow that happen.

If Nigeria split they will never see huge money to syphon.

So forget about that level.

It may be the only pedestrian bridge in benin city,
Benin city is not as congested as Lagos.

My issue with the bridge is that, it does not have this umbrella-like covering, like that of Lagos.

It is unfair of our leaders to construct such bridge, at this modern age, despite improved pattern.

Dont care about the masses


They think they've done a good job

They are just self centered.

Give it one year and it would be abandoned. Unless people are stopped from crossing the road in that vicinity on foot
