New Roads, Brigdes ’Il Enhance Dev -BYLG
Bayelsa State
Commissioner for Works and Infrastructural Development Mr Lawrence Ewrudjiakpor has said that the on-going road and bridge constructions in the state will fortify development at all level’s.
Ewrudjiakpor was of the opinions that when the projects are completed many communities and villages would network which would not only enhance easy movement of goods and human but would encourage farmers and fishermen in the hinterlands to double their efforts
He said the state dreams to provide infrastructure, especially roads which will make Bayelsa one of the economic hubs of the nation, and also accelerate the much desired change.
“The roads would not only ease the chaotic traffic situation in the capital city but create an impact on economy development, especially in the area of agriculture.
“The on-going bridge construction, especially the Ogobiri-Toruebibi Bridge in Ekeremor Local government area will link communities from East-west and south of the state.
“When this is achieved, the state will have a road channel to run smooth business and farm produce will be easily transported to the city and other states of the federation.
“I should say that road is the first contact in developmental plan, so, that is why we embarked on road constructions network.
“The bridges across communities will also contribute immensely in checkmating sea pirates along the waterways,” Ewrudiakpor said.
He listed some of the on-going road constructions and bridges to include Bayelsa Palm link road, AIT road, Azikoro dual carriageway, Tolu-orua-Ekeremor Road, Toruebini Bridge, among others.
One of the contractors, Engr. Kamal Kawash, Project Manager, Setraco Construction Company in Bayelsa, who is handling Toruebeni-Ekeremor Bridge said that their work was at an advanced stage.
Kawash said that the bridge was one of the state government’s efforts to link communities and bring development to the people of Bayelsa.
“The bridge will be completed by end of June, 2014; right now, it is above 85 per cent completion and hope it will be commissioned by next months.
