PHOTO: 34-Year-Old Enugu-Ebonyi Bridge Collapses




The 34-year-old Ovu River Bridge, which is located on a federal highway linking Enugu and Ebonyi states, has collapsed. The bridge links Ebonyi State, through Uburu in Ohaozara Local Government Area, and Enugu State, through Agbani-Ugboka-Nara-Nkerefi in Nkanu East council.
  
The bridge collapsed under the weight of a truck, which was plying it late at night. Villagers at the foot of the bridge said the truck was carrying 900 bags of cement when the bridge caved in, as against 600 bags stipulated for heavy-duty vehicles.
