FRSC, the Federal Road Safety Corps, has issued a warning to drivers.
After a flyover bridge fell, it diverted traffic along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Dual Carriage Motorway.
This was said in a statement released on Tuesday in Abuja by Assistant Corps Marshal (ACM) Bisi Kazeem, the Corps Public Relations Officer (CPEO).
By the new Artisan Market on the Port Harcourt–Enugu dual highway in Enugu State, according to Kazeem, a bridge had collapsed.
He claimed that the bridge, which allegedly fell on September 25 around 12:30 p.m., had a negative impact on traffic along that route.
He claims that it is advisable for drivers travelling from Port Harcourt/Aba to Abakiliki to pass through Bricks at the brand-new Kenyatta Market (Army Check Point)-Okpara Square.
They will travel along this route to reach New Haven Junction through the Otigba Roundabout, the Ogui Roundabout-Abakpa Junction (82 Division), and Abakiliki.
However, drivers from Abuja/Abakiliki travelling to Aba/Port Harcourt are recommended to take the Abakpa Junction (82 Division)-New Haven junction through the Otigba Roundabout.
“This would be through Ogui Roundabout to Okpara Square and proceed to Enugu/Port harcourt dual carriageway, new Kenyatta Market (Army Check Point), and continue to Aba/PH,” the man stated.
According to Kazeem, the caution became necessary to protect drivers from unnecessary bottlenecks.
He cited FRSC Corps Marshal Dauda Biu as warning drivers of all types of vehicles utilising that route to follow the aforementioned other roads and obey all traffic laws and regulations to ensure their safety.
