Motorists Bemoan Airforce Bridge Collapse
Motorists and other road users in Rivers State have lamented
the traffic grid along G. U. Ake Road due to the collapse of the flyover bridge
at Airforce Junction.
A cab operator, who gave his name as Baba Adura, said the
situation has caused untold hardship to passengers who ply that route.
Adura said it has also forced commuters to trek some
distance before boarding the next available cab,
He explained that it may force motorists to hike fare in
order to enable them beat their target for the day.
According to him, cab operators hardly record up to N2000
per day due to the heavy traffic that allows less than three trips per day.
Other motorists told our reporter that the only way out for
now, is to open the other side of the flyover which is still intact to allow
free traffic flow.
They noted that the route has accustomed both motorists and
commuters alike, adding that it will be difficult to redirect them to other
routes.
The cab operators further stated that, the Ikwerre road axis
would soon get blocked if urgent steps were not taken to repair the collapsed
flyover in the nearest future.
The Tide gathered that the traffic gridlock along G. U. Ake
road has extended up to Rukpokwu axis, thereby, worsening vehicle movement in
the area up to Rumuokoro roundabout.
It would be recalled that some part of the Airforce Flyover
bridge collaped on Sunday, September 16, 2012 after a heavy down pour.
