Osun Iconic Bridge Of Oyetola Is A Death Trap | GOVERNMEND
The 2.7billion, 0.64KM ‘Iconic’ fly-over bridge that replaced a traffic light which was reported to be efficacious in managing the easy movement of vehicles in the Olaiya area of the State Capital, Osogbo has received mixed reactions from the people of Nigeria after pictures surfaced online.
The much talked about iconic bridge ready for commissioning, from the pictures available online and the ‘on the surface’ inspection done by one of our correspondents, Akeem Adeniyi, is clear enough to admit that the construction is poor and a looming disaster in one of the busiest areas of Osogbo.
Many have called on the intervention of the Federal Government to do a quality assurance test on the bridge for the safety of motorists who would be plying the poor infrastructure. While some had said they would make sure they avoid using the infrastructure.
Speaking to a shop owner around the infrastructure, who chooses to speak to us in Yoruba and anonymity, said “it is easy to tell which food wouldn’t taste good by merely looking at it. We witnessed the construction from the start, we doubt if the bridge isn’t a death trap”
