The 100-metre long and 20-metre span project was re-awarded to and delivered by Obakpor Engineering Construction Company Limited. The infrastructure is 45 metres high from water level and has a 300-metre asphalt road and drains on the entry and exit.
According to him, “the successful completion of this project is one of the legacy projects of the Okowa administration and we are proud that it is one of the achievements of indigenous engineering in Nigeria.” Conducting the commissioner round the bridge, Chairman of Obakpor Engineering Construction Limited, Chief John Oguma, expressed fulfillment to have delivered the structure, adding: “I call it a legacy project because my father is from Ovwor and my mother is from Effurun-Otor. This bridge, which was first awarded in 1991, was abandoned by previous administrations.”
Augoye also inspected ongoing construction works in Warri and environs, lauding the contractors for the quality and urging them to honour the delivery dates. He was equally at Ayakoromo community to thank the people for their cooperation with the contractor handling a project in the settlement.
