The Only Bridge linking Eruwa with Lanlate town in Ibarapa East Local Government Area of Oyo State has collapsed.

The Bridge collapsed in the early hours of Tuesday, July 5, as a result of heavy rainfall.

One of the residents of the area, Adejumo Ogundele, urged the state government to urgently fix the bridge.

Ogundele said: "It’s true. We saw the collapsed bridge this morning due to heavy rainfall. The bridge has been in bad condition since. We hope the state government will fix it as soon as possible, because a journey of a few minutes will now take hours with the usage of adjoining roads."

The Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Adebo Ogundoyin has directed two commissioners in the State to immediately inspect the Eruwa/Lanlate bridge.

Ogundoyin, who is an indigene of Eruwa town, said that he has directed the Commissioner for Works and Transport and his counterpart in the Ministry of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters to immediately inspect the bridge washed away by flood in the early hours of Tuesday.

He said: "Nature was at work in my constituency. We are, however, thankful to God that it happened in the early hours of Tuesday and no life was lost.

"I have approached the State Commissioners for Works and Transport, Prof Dawud Sangodoyin and that of Local Government and Chieftaincy Matters, Chief Bayo Lawal and directed them to proceed on an inspection tour of the damaged bridge with a view to taking urgent action on it.

"The Damage has no doubt negatively affected the movement of our people in the two towns.

"This has even affected our students who are writing their NECO and WAEC as it is now virtually impossible to cross the stream."

He's not gonna do anything

Seyi Makinde is not working at all

Seyi Makinde is a very greedy, useless & most senseless governor Oyo state ever had

I believe it will be done in no time
Election is drawing near no politician go won f*ck up!!!
They are always nice and considerate during this period
Awon Oloriburukus!!!

This is as a result of poor standard of delivery. Was there no warning signs that bridge has integrity issues? We thank God there was no human toll. If it had been in the day time with people going to and fro, many lives would have been lost! The people should also help the government by speaking out. People used this damaged bridge in silence. The political leaders in this area also kept mute. We only speak out when the damage is maximum. A country without active and participatory citizenship is almost always irresponsibly governed.

Terrible things happening in the country. Does karma still work?

I trust Seyi Makinde to fix it

The bridge was there before my father's was born. My dad died at the age of 93 yrs. There is no maintenance policy in Nigeria . Until the structure collapsed before they put up a new structure. Very old bridge and tiny.

Looks more like the water was not properly channeled to prevent erosion.

Rigid (concrete bridges) or flexible (roads) pavements should always be supported with adequate water channels to prevent erosion (washing away) of the soil structure, which looks like the major problem here.

A pavement is only as good as its drainage channel because the number 1 problem of roads is erosion.
