He said: “We have taken another look to have the fourth
Flyover Bridge. That is why we came to examine the
location at the GRA Junction.
“We are thinking that the fourth Flyover Bridge should be
at the GRA Junction. We went there today to examine the
possibility. We have not taken a final decision on it.
“Within a short time, we will take the final decision. But
the three other Flyover Bridges are progressing quite
well. “
Governor Wike also inspected the Urban Renewal
Programme of his Administration in Port Harcourt and
Obio/Akpor Local Government Areas.
The Governor informed that the State Government will
evaluate buildings in different communities affected by
the construction of roads and pay the necessary

by Julius Berger.
“We have a challenge of compensation. This is because
where the roads are passing through, there are several
structures in place.

action. We have to send the relevant Ministry to evaluate
the buildings for compensation.
