A devastating incident has occurred in the Uwheru Community of Ughelli North Local Government Area in Delta State, as the bridge along the East-West road has collapsed.
The cause of the collapse is still unknown at this time.
According to reports the collapse has resulted in significant disruptions to transportation in the area. Passengers and transporters traveling from Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and other parts of the Niger Delta region have been forced to abandon a section of the road where the incident occurred, using only one lane to navigate through the area.
The collapse of the bridge has caused immense hardship for road users, who are now appealing to the Federal Government, to intervene and repair the road.
The drivers are calling on the government to take immediate action to make the road motorable again, as the current state of the road is causing significant delays and difficulties for commuters.
The East-West road is a critical transportation artery in the region, connecting several major cities and towns in the Niger Delta. The collapse of the bridge has highlighted the need for urgent attention to be given to the road’s maintenance and repair.
The Federal Government’s prompt response to this situation is crucial to alleviate the suffering of the people and ensure the free flow of traffic in the area.
