Ekiti Gov, Kayode Fayemi Insepects Ureje Bridge Collapse Site - Photos

Remember we reported about the collapsed bridge in Ekiti? Well, Ekiti State Governor, Dr. Kayode Fayemi on Tuesday personally inspected the Ureje Bridge collapse site on Ado-Ijan Road.

On the Governor’s entourage were the commissioners for Works, Mr Sola Adebayo, Commissioner for Environment, Mr Gbenga Agbeyo and the Special Adviser on Roads Infrastructure Mr Sunday Adunmo.

The bridge collapsed due to heavy rainfall that caused an erosion in the area. Ekiti State Government has begun immediate palliative efforts within hours of the incident to keep the major link road motorable until the rains subside.

The Governor, through a tweet from his personal handle @kfayemi, had assured the residents that reconstruction would commence once the rains are over noting that the Ado-Ijan road is under federal jurisdiction.

Ekiti Road Collapse: Palliative Works Begin On The Affected Road - Photos

Meanwhile, we can report that palliative measure is being put in place by EKSPW at the Ureje bridge, Oke Ureje along Federal Poly/ABUAD, Ijan /Ikare road. It was earlier reported that the road collapsed aftermath of heavy downpour which makes the road usable.

The EKSPW went to work almost immediately to create a palliative measure to road users and to those who ply the road for their daily bread/businesses. Even though the road cause lots of traffic jam and the road was in total lockdown for hours, the EKSPW crew were able to pave the way and make the road motorable again, at least for a short time.

This is a commendable feat to the state government for being timely, prompt and being decisive
