Oborevwori Breaks Ground for Otovwodo Flyover Monday, January 12

Delta State Governor, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, will on Monday, January 12, 2026, perform the groundbreaking ceremony for the Otovwodo Junction Flyover in Ughelli, marking another milestone in his administration’s urban infrastructure expansion drive.

The ceremony, slated for 11:00 a.m., will hold at the project site, according to a statement by the Governor’s Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, who advised invited guests to be seated by 10:30 a.m.

Construction work has already commenced at the site by the contractor, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, underscoring the state government’s resolve to ensure prompt delivery of the project.

The Otovwodo Junction Flyover is one of two newly approved flyover projects by the State Executive Council, coming on the heels of the near completion of three others at PTI Junction, DSC Roundabout and Enerhen Junction. The second newly approved flyover is located at Uromi Junction in Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area.

To ease traffic and minimise disruptions during construction at Otovwodo, Governor Oborevwori had earlier approved and commenced the construction of four adjoining roads—Ovie Palace Road, Okogbe Road, Oyakemeagbegha Street and Edo Road.

Meanwhile, preliminary works have also begun at the Uromi Junction flyover site, with the date for its groundbreaking ceremony to be announced in due course.

The flyover projects are key components of the Oborevwori administration’s infrastructure renewal agenda, aimed at improving traffic flow, enhancing public safety and stimulating economic activities across Delta State.
