Vice President Sambo stated that, ‘the President’s approval for the
commencement of the work also includes the upgrade of the arteries and
connections to the bridge’. He directed the Minister of Works to ascertain
the actual areas that need to be dualised. The Vice President pointed out
that the completion of the bridge project will likely attract an increased
flow of traffic. To this end, he further directed that designs must be
presented for the future dualisation of the road. He said that the work is
scheduled to commence by 2015.

Earlier, the Royal Highnesses of Ebu, Illah, Emu, Inyede and Igbedo,
represented by Andrew Omalu Okoja expressed their appreciation to the
Federal Government for the completion of the Utor River Bridge project
which was abandoned by various previous administrations and eventually
resuscitated, approved and funded by this present administration. They
expressed further appreciation to the government for the quick response to
the recently collapsed Two Cell Box Culvert Bridge between Illah and Ebu
on the Asaba-Ebu-Emu-Ahia-Uromi road. They appealed that urgent attention
be given to the second Cell Box Bridge at Ega-Ebu that is presently
showing signs of distress. They promised to lend their support to the
present administration for their continued stay in office after 2015 to
enable the completion of similar projects still presently ongoing.
