New Artisan Bridge Inaugurated in Enugu, Boosting Connectivity and Trade

MC ADA NKANU

 


Enugu State Governor, Peter Mbah has commissioned the newly reconstructed New Artisan Bridge on the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway, marking a major milestone in the state’s infrastructure renewal drive.

The original bridge collapsed in September 2023 under the weight of a truck, prompting swift intervention from the Enugu State Government and federal agencies. Governor Mbah advocated for a state-supervised maintenance model, which led to a full redesign and rebuild of the bridge by the Federal Ministry of Works and CCECC.

Completed on schedule, the new concrete bridge is built to last 50 years and restores a critical commercial route linking Enugu with several South-East and South-South states. Governor Mbah described it as “hope restored” and a symbol of responsive, cooperative governance.
