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.
