Julius Berger Nigeria Plc tackles Delta road collapse

Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is addressing the collapse of the East-West Road at Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area, Delta State, caused by six days of heavy rainfall. Fredrick Wieser, the company’s Regional Manager, announced that they are conducting surveys and hydraulic assessments to determine whether a mini-bridge or a multi-cell culvert will be the permanent solution.

Currently, emergency work is underway to restore traffic flow. Governor Sheriff Oborevwori stated that the state government is prepared to fund the permanent repairs, emphasizing the road's importance as a major economic route linking Delta with Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River states.

He contacted Julius Berger immediately after the collapse due to their expertise in such emergencies. The governor urged citizens not to politicize the situation but to focus on solutions for affected motorists and residents.
