Oborevwori Orders Permanent Fix for East-West Road Damage

Delta State Governor Rt Hon Oborevwori has directed the implementation of a permanent solution to the washed-out section of the East-West Road at Agbarho, Ughelli North Local Government Area, after it collapsed due to six consecutive days of heavy rainfall. During an inspection on Saturday, he commended Julius Berger Nigeria Plc for their prompt response to the emergency.

The Governor noted that the road's failure was exacerbated by significant hydraulic pressure from water runoff in the area. He stated that Julius Berger is conducting technical studies to determine the best permanent solution, which may include constructing a mini-bridge or a multi-cell culvert.

Oborevwori stressed the importance of a solution that goes beyond temporary repairs, ensuring it can handle the water volume effectively. He also mentioned that the affected section would soon be made temporarily accessible to motorists.

The Governor urged citizens to avoid politicizing the incident and focus on finding solutions to the challenges faced by the community.
