The Ondo State Government has repaired the failed portion of the Owo-Ikare Akoko Road at Aiyegun-Oka and reopened it to motorists.

Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa had in August ordered the closure of the affected section following significant structural damage that posed serious safety risks to motorists.

The directive was followed by the immediate commencement of repair works by the Ministry of Infrastructure.

As part of the intervention, a culvert was constructed to address the structural failure, restore the integrity of the road and prevent further deterioration.

The reopening of the section has brought relief to motorists and residents, particularly those living along the diversion route who had endured dust and environmental pollution during the period of construction.

Residents expressed appreciation to the state government for responding promptly to their concerns and addressing the situation despite the road being under federal ownership.

The intervention is expected to improve traffic flow, enhance road safety and ease transportation along the Owo-Ikare Akoko corridor.
