It was ordinary sand that they poured there. Whenever water is flowing, it bounces on that side. They should come back and see what they did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf it is something they can use their hands to repair, they should please do it fast,\u201d a middle-aged man said.<\/p>\n<p>Another resident said, \u201cPeople in this area are cut off now. It is obvious that the bridge was not properly constructed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are begging the government to come and look at it because this is the only road we take to our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A trader, who identified herself only as Ihuoma, said, \u201cYou can see that I am going to Omagwa with my luggage. Assuming the road was okay, I would have gone directly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe usually pay N50 to pass this area, but because of what has happened, we are now paying N100 because commercial drivers are diverting. Let the governor come and help us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The paramount ruler of Isiokpo Kingdom, Blessing Nwago, decried the condition of the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cThank God nobody has died, otherwise, it would have been a different story. I am not an engineer, but the bridge has failed; it has cut Isiopku off. We can\u2019t go to Port Harcourt as it is now. We need government\u2019s assistance now. Let them come to our aid.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A senior official in the Rivers State Ministry of Works said rehabilitation work had started on the bridge.<\/p>\n<p>The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that the slabs of the old bridge demolished to construct the new one were preventing proper flow of water from underneath the bridge and washing away the soil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A part of a bridge at the Eleme section of the East-West Road in Rivers State leading into Isiokpo, in the Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state, collapsed on Thursday.
