Enugu MoW&I Says Ogbete Pedestrian Bridge Has No Structural Defects, Safe For Public Use On Completion (Photos)

…Explains there are no cracks but a designed construction joint at mid span pier

IgbereTV reports that the Enugu State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure has reacted to what it described as “a mischievous and false graphic illustration of crack” on the ongoing Pedestrian Crossing Bridge, at Ogbete Main Market, Enugu, trending on social media.

In a statement, shortly after reassessing the project to re-ascertain its structural integrity following the public outcry over the misleading images on social media, the Ministry maintained that “the bridge structure is intact” stressing the picture showing a crack was misleading and does not represents the true image of the structure.

The Ministry explained that there is no crack on the pedestrian bride but “a designed construction joint at mid span pier which is applicable to other similar bridges”.

According to the Ministry, “there are no structural defects from the stair flights through the landings to the beams, and down through the piers to the foundation”.

It therefore, advised those behind the misleading and false pictures on social media to always seek clarifications from the State Ministry of Works and Infrastructure.

Silly people.....how can you design a bridge with an 'expansion joint' with no elastic material (mastic) within it?

It concrete expands onto concrete its will crack/fracture/bow!

or is air meant to expand and contract?

.........Elasticity no dey curriculum again?

Unbelievable!

That bridge needs removing asap - it's better they put traffic lights there if a simple bridge they cannot construct.

If this thing collapse it will be triple tragedy; for the people on the bridge, the people under the bridge and the road below the bridge.

Shitty country, until people die as a result of their maladministration which will lead them to deny admitting the bridge being safe for people to use. Gross incompetence undecided

I think the picture they are calling fake is actually real.

The only picture of that part they uploaded was taken far away from the bridge and at an angle where you can't compare it with the previous one.

What a governor and his media crew.. I was there yesterday when they were trying to patch that part going bad already. I mercy for ugwuanyi and efcc after his government , the young man has a lot of Case to answer, the newly built Nike/emene link road commissioned just last month is already dilapidated already and you guys were quick to blame blockage of drainages for a road nearly a month old, round the whole town is filling of potholes and it’s even taking you people weeks to fill ordinary potholes with the rough patches you guys are doing there to the extent that the road was even better while bad than now you guys are working it. Let’s salvage political lifestyles and tell our self the truth ugwuanyi is the worst to have ever mount the mantle of leadership in Enugu state , both civil servants are crying of no more leave allowance and Working hazard pay by this same governor , only in his tenure have I seen the whole town coming out to criticize a governor. It’s quite a shame
