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.
