Relief appears on the way for motorists and commuters plying
the Enugu-Onitsha and Enugu-Port Harcourt express roads, as the Federal
Government has mobilized contractors to return to sites to rehabilitate the
roads that have been death traps for some times.
Work on the Enugu-Onitsha highway was abandoned over 10
years ago. It will be recalled that eminent citizens from the south east,
traditional rulers among others have decried the deplorable condition of the
ever busy road that links people from the Northern states to the commercial
city of Onitsha to no avail. Also, remedial works were done on a portion of one
lane on the Enugu-Okigwe-Umuahia-Port Harcourt road, between Okigwe and
Umuahia, before it was abandoned early in the year.
But recently, contactors were seen mobilizing their
equipment back to their sites at the 9th Mile end of the Enugu-Onitsha road and
on the Enugu-Port Harcourt highway. On the Enugu-Port Harcourt road, two
contractors have mobilized for work. One of the contractors have commenced
clearing the maiden from Awgu axis of Enugu down to Isiagu Junction and Abia
State boundary which was overgrown by weeds. It was also observed that the firm
has secured and cleared a huge space after Mpu junction and putting structures
as camp for its workers and equipment.
