Akeredolu To Construct Ore Flyover

The long suffering of pedestrians and incessant accident caused by lack of a flyover bridge to carry traffic across the Lagos /Benin Express at the flash point  of Ore T-junction may soon be over.




This was revealed today by Ondo State Governor, Arakunrin Oluwarotimi Akeredolu, SAN while presenting  2018 Appropriation Bill to the State House of Assembly on Friday 22nd December, 2017, at the Assembly Complex, Igbatoro Road, Akure.

Governor Akeredolu highlighted among other roads to be constructed the fly-over  (Interchange Bridge) at Ore Junction in his budget speech.

Worried by the incessant accidents on the Benin-Lagos road, the House of Representatives, in March 2013, urged the Federal Ministry of Works to construct flyover and pedestrian bridges across the road, especially the flashpoint at Ore junction in Ondo State.

However, the road has remained unattended to, leaving the people to lose many man hour cause by delay in vehicular movement. The road is always busy and notorious for fatal accidents.

The decision of Governor Akeredolu to include the road in the State's budget is as a result  of his unbridled  determination to transform the economy of the State from civil servants driven to industrialized economy.
