Oyo State government has opened an alternative route in Olodo environment following the collapse of the Olodo Bank Bridge due to flooding, appealing to road users not to hinder the flow of traffic on the new route.
The Commissioner for Works, Public Infrastructure and Transport, Professor Daud Shangodoyin, who visited the 2.5 kilometre Oki Junction-Olodo Bank Road fixed by the government as an alternative route for road users in the axis, said the collapsed bridge would also be fixed in six months.
Professor Shangodoyin was at the site in company of the Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Prince Dotun Oyelade and an Engineer from the contractors handling the Ibadan-Iwo-Osogbo Road.
According to him, Governor ‘Seyi Makinde has equally directed that another route from Oki through Kumapayi to Olodo, which is 3.8km, should be fixed as an alternative, saying that the Ministry would embark on that project immediately.
He appealed to road users to manage the alternative infrastructure so as not to cause hardship for other road users, stating that work would begin on the collapsed bridge in a few days.
The commissioner added that work would start on the collapsed Olodo Bridge in earnest and that it would take about six months for the work to be completed.
