According to the Federal Road Safety Corps, the second phase of usage of the second Niger Bridge will begin on January 2, 2023.
The Federal Government inaugurated the second Niger Bridge for temporary usage on December 15, 2022.
It was stated that cars travelling from the West to the East will be permitted to use the bridge beginning December 15, 2022, while motorists returning from the East to the West would be permitted beginning January 2, 2023.
Mr Udeme Eshiet, Sector Commander FRSC, Delta State, advised road users to follow the instruction.
Eshiet said, “We thank the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria for endorsing the temporary opening of the Second Niger Bridge since December 15, 2022, that will last till January 15, 2023.
“We want to remind you about the notice that the second phase on the use of the bridge is commencing from January 2, 2023.
“The use of the Second Niger Bridge as directed by the Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, will be from the East to the West making use of the Obosi interchange.”
He said that the bridge’s inauguration has made Nigerians’ journeys more smooth, asking road users to continue to obey all road traffic management.
The contractors in charge of the #secondNigerbridge blocked the Asaba axis of the bridge early today, Monday, January 2nd, to halt the flow of cars going across the bridge.
The Engineers’ closure is for the removal of crash barriers from the road in order to open up the Obosi axis beneath the bridge’s walls for unrestricted flow of traffic for cars returning from the South East to the West.
Remember that the FG opened the second Niger Bridge for temporary usage on December 15, 2022. Motorists travelling from the West to the East were permitted to use the bridge beginning December 15, 2022, while motorists returning from the East to the West were permitted from January 2nd until January 15th, 2023.
According to Chinyere Okoli, who saw the dismantling of the barricades, site workers were spotted deploying heavy-duty equipment to dismantle crash barriers and another diversion point in preparation for the bridge’s re-opening.
