The
commencement of construction works on Section 5; Oron to Calabar, the
last section of the road, has suffered some setback following the
rejection of the design by the Cross River State Government.
The state
Commissioner for Works, Dane Osim-Asu, who made the disclosure said the
rejection followed discovery that the section of the proposed four lane
road was designed to pass through Jebs area of Calabar South Local
Government Area , and terminate at the Watt Market section of Calabar
Road in heart of the city.
Osim-Asu told journalists in his office in Calabar on Wednesday
that the route in the current design indicates that the road would pass
through a densely populated area in Calabar town, a development that
would not only distort the economic and cultural lives of the people,
but would also lead to serious traffic chaos , if the current design was
retained and the road constructed.
