Ondo State Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa, on Monday, flagged off the construction of a 2.38-kilometre, 94-span flyover along the Oyemekun–Oba Adesida Road corridor in Akure.
Governor Aiyedatiwa, who described the flyover as a strategic intervention to tackle persistent traffic congestion and boost investment and economic growth, said it would run from Adegbola Junction through Ojaoba and Adegbemile-Omieja to St Mathias/NNPC Filling Station, Alagbaka, as part of the administration’s urban renewal and infrastructure development agenda.
Flagging off the project, Governor Aiyedatiwa said the intervention was designed to provide a modern transport solution that would improve mobility, safety and the movement of people and goods along one of Akure’s busiest corridors.
“This is a long-awaited moment and we are proud of the singular honour and privilege to formally flag-off the construction of the Flyover Bridge along the Oyemekun Oba Adesida Road Corridor, from Adegbola Junction to St. Mathias/NNPC Filling Station, Alagbaka, Akure, covering 2.38 kilometres,” he said.
The governor said the project followed careful planning, technical appraisal and extensive stakeholder engagement.
