The Delta State Government has announced plans to repair the recently collapsed Asaba-Ase wooden bridge, which connects Uzere in Isoko South to Asaba-Ase in Ndokwa East. The bridge, an essential transport route for local communities, gave way under pressure.

During a site visit on Monday, the Commissioner for Works (Rural and Riverine Roads), Charles Aniagwu, confirmed the government’s commitment to restoring the bridge. He assured residents that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is dedicated to expediting the repair process to restore this crucial link as quickly as possible and reconnect the affected areas.

Mr. Aniagwu, alongside the Commissioner for Lands, Mr. Emamusi Obiodeh, also checked the progress of other key road projects in Isoko North and South, including the second phase of the Emevor-Orogun road and the Igbide-Olomoro road, where repair work is ongoing.
