The Rivers State Government is to commence the construction of a fourth flyover bridge at the GRA junction of Port Harcourt, the state capital.
In addition, the Rumuola flyover bridge also in the state capital, is to be expanded to accommodate additional vehicular traffic.
These new projects will complement Rebisi, Rumuogba and Okoro-nu-Odo Flyover projects which have reached advanced stages of completion.
Governor Wike who was accompanied by the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Dr. Lars Richter, also inspected the urban renewal programme of his administration at both the Old and New Government Reservation Areas.
He stated that his decision to embark on projects even at a time the state government is fighting COVID-19 is because people would. still need basic infrastructure to improve their lives after the pandemic.
Governor Wike debunked the impression that only Julius Berger Nigeria Plc is the only company executing projects in the state, pointing out that there are other notable indigenous contractors that are working for the state government.
Some of the indigenous companies executing the state government projects according to the Governor include, Lubrik Construction Company Limited, Wellman and Wellington Construction Company Limited, VKF Construction Company and Roadmap Construction Company.
The governor said that his administration would invest in building standard hospitals to discourage medical tourism.
Also speaking, the Managing Director of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, Dr. Lars Richter assured the State Governor that the company would deliver the three flyover projects as promised during the signing of the contract.
He commended the Governor for his good management of COVID-19 which has also impacted positively on the level of work done by his company.
Other projects inspected by the Governor include, the new Government House Clinic /Administrative Building, dualization of Olumeni Street in Old GRA, dualization of Tombia, Emeyal, Elelenwo Streets in New GRA, the Judges Quarters and the Mother and Child Hospital.
