Commuters Left Stranded As Heavy Flood In Bayelsa Cuts Of The Only Bridge Linking Ogbia, Nembe And Brass LGA To The State's Capital, Yenagoa

THE ONLY BRIDGE LINKING OGBIA, NEMBE 

AND BRASS LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA TO THE STATE CAPITAL, YENAGOA, HAS BEEN CUT OFF BY FLOOD 

The above photo shows the present situation, of the popular Tombia-Imiringi/Edepie-Imiringi road. This Bridge has cut into two, due to the heavy impact of the flood in Bayelsa.

We learnt that, the level of the increasing water from the flood, had caused a shock on its pillar, and subsequently, led to the quick split from both sides.

In addition, we could see clearly from the above photos that, this has left Commuters (comprising of military personnels, police patrol teams, and other travelers) stranded. 

 

However, Commuters in a bid to access Yenagoa from these affected LGAs, are advised to take more longer routes (over 3 times longer),  ''the Okaki/Yenegue/Kolo road''.

Meanwhile, we also call upon NEMA and other appropriate authorities to come to their aide, before things get worse.
