Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has stated that it is fast-tracking road projects in Rivers State to transform access and mobility for communities.
In a statement, the construction giant said infrastructure development across Rivers State is gaining momentum as key road and bridge projects move forward at a high pace.
“From the ambitious Port Harcourt Ring Road to the Emohua-Abalama/Tema Junction Road and the Ahoada-Omoku-Ndoni road, construction efforts are bringing new economic opportunities to the region,” it said.
It stated that the 15.24km dualisation of the Emohua-Abalama/Tema Junction road, is already showing signs of progress, with Phase 1 completed, while Phase 2 commenced in November 2024 despite the security challenges in the area.
The Project Manager of the road, Finn Drosdowski, said the project, which includes drainage works and solar-powered street lighting, is expected to improve travel times and safety for road users.
“Work is also advancing on the Ahoada-Omoku-Ndoni road extension, which involves the dualisation of the 25.4km Ahoada-Omoku road linking Ogbo Okudu Road Junction in Ahoada East to Omoku in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni Local Government Area. The manager said the completion is nearing 75%, with drainage systems being installed in township areas,” he stated
He said some residents had been relocated as part of the project, with compensations processed for affected properties.
