PORT HARCOURT—After years of outcry over its deplorable condition, the Rivers State Government has finally commenced significant repair work on the highly critical Station Road in the heart of Port Harcourt.
This highly anticipated intervention is a major boost for the city centre, as the road serves as a vital artery connecting the Old Township area to the main city axis, and is a major route for commercial activities and access to the Port Harcourt Correctional Centre and other key institutions.
Why This Matters:
Easing Congestion: Station Road is notorious for traffic gridlock caused by failed sections. The repair work is expected to bring immediate and long-term relief to drivers and commuters.
Boosting Commerce: Businesses operating along this route have suffered due to the poor state of the road. Its rehabilitation is a welcome development for local commerce.
Infrastructure Focus: This project aligns with the administration’s commitment to urban renewal and addressing critical infrastructure gaps in the Port Harcourt metropolis.
Commuters are advised to follow all traffic diversions and cooperate with the construction teams as work progresses swiftly.
