The Bayelsa State Government says it will construct a second flyover bridge to ease the incessant traffic gridlock in the Etegwe axis in Yenagoa, the state capital.
Governor Douye Diri, who visited the proposed location of the bridge on Monday, said that the project would be captured in the 2020 Appropriation Bill sent to the State House of Assembly.

The popular Etegwe roundabout and environs in the Yenagoa metropolis have been a flashpoint for heavy traffic gridlock making vehicular movements on a standstill for hours daily in the last couple of years.
The Bayelsa State Chief Executive is also setting his sights on various infrastructure such as the Bayelsa Mall, that will mark his 100 days in office.
The construction of a flyover bridge at the ever-busy Etegwe roundabout will not only ease the movement of residents and vehicles but also add to the aesthetics of the city of Yenagoa befitting of state capital.
