Delta infrastructure drive gains momentum as Oborevwori breaks ground for Otovwodo flyover


Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori will on Monday, January 12, 2026, officially break ground for the construction of the Otovwodo Junction Flyover in Ughelli, further accelerating his administration’s aggressive push to transform the state’s urban infrastructure.

The groundbreaking ceremony, scheduled for 11:00 a.m., marks another major milestone in the governor’s infrastructure renewal agenda.

A statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Festus Ahon, said guests are expected to be seated by 10:30 a.m. ahead of the flag-off.

Construction work has already begun at the site, with Julius Berger Nigeria Plc mobilised and actively working, reinforcing the administration’s determination to deliver the project on schedule.

The Otovwodo Junction Flyover is one of two newly approved flyover projects by the State Executive Council (EXCO), coming on the heels of the near completion of three major flyovers at PTI Junction, DSC Roundabout, and Enerhen Junction—projects widely regarded as game-changers for traffic flow in the state and executed by Julius Berger.

The second newly approved flyover is sited at Uromi Junction in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area, further underlining the Oborevwori administration’s relentless drive to decongest major urban corridors and modernize Delta’s road infrastructure.

In preparation for the Otovwodo flyover project and to ease traffic flow during construction, Oborevwori had earlier directed the construction of four adjoining roads at Ovie Palace Road, Okogbe Road, Oyakemeagbegha Street, and Edo Road, to decongest the busy junction and minimise disruption to motorists and residents.

Similarly, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has also commenced preliminary works at the Uromi Junction flyover site, while the groundbreaking ceremony for that project is expected to be announced at a later date.

The flyover projects form part of the Oborevwori administration’s broader infrastructure renewal agenda aimed at improving traffic management, enhancing safety, and boosting economic activities across Delta State.
