Delta State governor Sheriff Oborevwori has expressed satisfaction with Julius Berger Nigeria Plc’s redesigning and remodelling of the Effurun Roundabout to ease traffic.
He stated this yesterday after inspecting the flyover under construction at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) junction in the Uvwie local government area.
The company is executing the contract awarded by the state government last year for constructing three flyovers in Warri/Effurun and associated roads.
The governor, impressed with the work done on the projects so far, expressed optimism that the construction firm would deliver on schedule.
Oborevwori said, “I am impressed with the work they have done so far; remember I told you at inception that the job duration is 27 months, and as long as we pay them monthly, they will be able to keep up with the time they gave us. I usually pass here, but I stopped over and saw things for myself. I am impressed with their work so far, and I know they will keep to the 27-month completion period they gave to the state government.”
He commended Julius Berger for effectively managing traffic flow around the construction corridor by creating several diversions outside the site.
Meanwhile, last week was a season of praises for leading engineering construction company Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, as communities along its operational areas in Warri, Delta State, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, and Aba, Abia State expressed their excitement at the progress of construction work being executed by the company.
In Warri, where the company was contracted to build flyovers and roads in the metropolis, as well as in Effurun, commuters and residents on the ever-busy Effurun-Warri Road hailed Julius Berger for the pace of work on the project as the workers were busy in the ceaseless rains.
The project manager, Mr Thomas Haug, who was also in the rain with his team, disclosed, “Right now, we are building the structures for the PTI flyover while piling work has started for the DSC flyover. We are also preparing for piling on the Enerhen Road flyover.”
The same scenario as the one in Warri played out in Aba, Abia State, where Julius Berger is constructing the long-abandoned Port Harcourt Road/Aba Road.
The project has progressed speedily; over 40 percent has been completed. Section 1 of the project is especially done, with excited commercial cyclists seen plying the road amidst Julius Berger’s emergency diversions notices.
