Work has officially started on the highly anticipated Uromi Junction Flyover Bridge in Agbor, located in Ika South Local Government Area of Delta State, as heavy construction machinery has been mobilized to the project site.
The flyover project is being executed by Julius Berger Nigeria PLC, a top-tier engineering and construction company in Nigeria.
In a statement released on Wednesday, the Director-General of the Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr. Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, confirmed the commencement of the project, describing it as a landmark infrastructure investment expected to deliver significant socio-economic gains.
According to him, the flyover will reshape the Agbor urban landscape by reducing gridlock, enhancing the city’s visual appeal, and stimulating business and trade activities across the metropolis.
Dr. Oghenesivbe commended Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, calling him a strategic and dependable leader who fulfills his commitments, noting that his administration continues to prioritize infrastructure expansion and statewide economic advancement.
He also expressed strong confidence in Julius Berger’s technical expertise, assuring residents that the company will deliver the flyover to premium standards and within an accelerated timeframe.
Uromi Junction is a critical transit point connecting several states and regions across Nigeria. In recent years, it has experienced worsening traffic congestion, creating persistent delays and challenges for motorists and commuters.
To support smooth project delivery, residents were encouraged to collaborate with the contractor and help protect construction assets, including materials and equipment, to guarantee speedy and successful completion of the flyover.
