UMUAHIA – MOTORISTS and other road users have abandoned the Okigwe/ Umuahia portion of the Federal Government- owned Enugu-Port Harcourt Express way due to its  total collapse.

The portion of the road is now a death trap with dangerous potholes and motorists now  prefer longer alternative routes to Aba, Umuahia and Port Harcourt.

Besides the Okigwe-Umuahia portion, the Cattle Market and Lokpa junction portions of the road are also in very terrible shape.

Also the Umuahia-Port Harcourt portion is not better as it is also full of potholes covering the entire length of the road with Umuikaa-Osisioma-Aba area as the worst affected.

Last week, motorists who tried to ply the Okigwe-Umuahia portion of the road lamented their experience and described it as terrible.
