Travellers and motorists on Wednesday were left stranded following the collapse of the Ado-Ekiti-Ilawe-Ekiti road, which connects the state to Ondo State.
The road served as an alternative route to people travelling between Ekiti and Ondo states as the other road between the two states, the Ado-Akure expressway, is in deplorable condition.
It was gathered that the Ado-Ekiti-Ilawe-Ekiti road collapsed in the early hours of Wednesday following persistent torrential rain experienced of late in the state.
The development made motorists and other travellers coming into Ekiti and going outside the state to make a detour and ply other routes connecting their destinations.
Lamenting the deplorable condition of roads in the state, they called on the state and federal governments to urgently work on the road in the interest of the citizens.
