…Decry Gridlock On Mile I Flyover
Commuters plying the
Mile III/Borikiri route have expressed worry over traffic hold up on the Mile I flyover.
A bus driver who spoke to The Tide yesterday said for the past three months gridlock on the flyover has become a regular feature of the road.
The driver who identified himself as Christopher Jones blamed the ugly situation on the state of the Ikwerre Road to UTC junction.
He said, “most drivers try to avoid the terrible spot at The Tide axis of the road which has become impassable”.
“What we do is that when we get to the Education Bus Stop, we now load at the speed lane instead of the bus stop and thereafter pass through the flyover thereby causing traffic obstruction on the flyover,” said Jones.
Another driver, Ibitimi Freeman said loading on the speed lane axis of the Education Bus Stop and a bad spot at the base of the flyover opposite the Boro Park were two factors responsible for the traffic hold-up on the flyover.
Freeman appealed to the Rivers State Government to take urgent action on the poor state of the Ikwerre Road, stressing that a lot of man hour are lost because of the poor state of the road.
He said, “until the bad spot in front of Rivers State Newspaper Corporation is rehabilitated, the problem experienced on the axis may not be over”.
A commuter, Mrs Juliet Akpan expressed disappointment on the part of the Federal Government who has the responsibility to fix the road.
“Where is FARMA, where is Federal Ministry of Works, why has Federal Government decided to abandon its responsibility in the state?, she queried.
