Construction of the first road link to Bonny Island in highly challenging environment and soil conditions

Bodo-Bonny Road, Rivers State
As the first road link between Bonny Island to the rest of Rivers State, the Bodo-Bonny road is a milestone infrastructure development project for the advancement of the Niger Delta and a catalyst for the continued success of Bonny Island - a key industrial area in Nigeria tied to the economic development and general wellbeing of the Nation as a whole.

This pioneer project is also a benchmark regarding financing cooperation between the private and public sectors, in reference to the special contractual conditions of part funding of 50% by Nigeria LNG Limited (NLNG).

Technically, the road is a massive undertaking with many construction challenges due to the low lying marshy area, muddy and swampy soil conditions and considerable tidal movements. The scope comprises construction of a 39 km long road, cross culverts and two mini bridges with a span of 23 m each as well as two creek bridges, Afa Creek Bridge of about 530 m length and Nanabie Creek Bridge of about 640 m length, in addition to the construction of a major river bridge of about 750 m length over the Opobo Channel.

Substantial dredging activities and a number of specialized soil stabilization methodologies are being carried out. Incremental launching is utilized for bridge construction. The highly mechanized method consists of manufacturing the superstructure of the bridge by sections in a prefabrication area behind one of the abutments with each new unit concreted directly against the preceding one - after it has hardened the resultant structure is launched forward over temporary sliding bearings.

This is a massive project.

This is a milestone project, I must say... kudos to the beneficiaries.


OP you would have added a video to the post. E for make brain.


Thanks anyways!

You just have to give it to this government in the area of infrastructure.

My only problem with them is security and economy.

This is the kind of challenging task HE Fashola loves. PMB really got the best man for the job.

God bless Nigeria for ever.

Unfortunately some people would have preferred that the money for this project be shared in the days of the PDP. The looters will then trickle down crumbs to the improvished. That's their concept of a working government as'money is going round well'. Very pathetic!

The minister also identified Bodo-Bonny Bridge in Rivers which was the only access to the site of Nigeria Liquefied Natural Gas.

“For decades, this place is only accessible by air and when there is bad weather which are a usual occurrence people cannot get there for days.

“Three attempts had been made by the previous istrations to construct the bridge but all failed,’’ he said.

Mr Fashola said the Buhari istration succeeded in constructing the first road and bridge linking Bonny Island in highly challenging environment and soil condition.

This is commendable, I'm sure the great people of bonny island would be happy. For many years I've had to travel through the Atlantic Ocean to bonny island. That experience is scary.

Good job.

God bless PMB
God bless Fashola

Ok

It would have been better for the price of food and the value of the naira to remain as it were in 2014 than this white elephant project.


If you had 1000 naira in 2014, currently your 1000 naira is now worth less than 400 naira.


No amount of white elephant project such as this one beats such a failure in governance.

Nice Development after many years

I hope to visit Bonny Island some day

Insecurity and inflation don finish the regime

Bloodbath, kidnap, banditry on roads, herdsmen deaths everywhere

Then high cost of things, everything. Fuel, dollar, foodstuff, electricity hike.

But infrastructure i give them 9/10

Kudos to the FG.

Nice one.



So Bonny island is now accessible via road

Good job FG

BUHARI THANK YOU OOO.

NA YOU BIKO!

FG have been constructing roads and rail ways in the north, and just one road in the south, and the world wants to end

Oampson:
This is highly commendable. Kudos to the Rivers state government.
