Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, on Monday, January 12, 2026, performed the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a flyover at Otovwodo Junction in Ughelli North LGA, which was awarded to Julius Berger at N39.34 billion.
According to the governor, Otovwodo Junction is a vital link to Warri, Asaba, and Patani on the East–West Road Highway, making it one of the busiest roads in this axis.
He said that when completed, the project is expected to ease vehicular movement and boost trade and commerce, with a completion period of 12 months.
At the ceremony, he noted that this government is redefining the social contract with our people through compassion, conviction, and a culture of accountability in infrastructure delivery.
He also appealed to road users to be patient and to obey traffic controllers during this period to avoid unnecessary gridlock, thanking the people of Ughelli Kingdom for their warm reception.
