Project Overview
The Sabagreia-Polaku Road and Bridge project in Bayelsa State, Nigeria aimed to improve connectivity, boost economic activities, and enhance transportation efficiency in the Niger Delta region.
This road and bridge construction was designed to provide a durable all-weather route, linking rural communities to urban centers while mitigating the challenges of flooding and poor road conditions common in the region. The project aligns with the Federal and Bayelsa State Government’s commitment to infrastructural development in the Niger Delta.
Scope of work
Road Construction
Land Clearing & Earthworks: Removal of vegetation, excavation, and grading to prepare the road alignment in addistion to sand filling with average depth of 3.5 meters.
Drainage Systems: Construction of culverts, side drains, and flood control mechanisms to prevent waterlogging during flood season.
Pavement Construction: Layering of sub-base, base course, and asphalt/concrete surfacing for durability.
Road Markings & Signage: Installation of road signs, lane markings, and safety barriers.
Bridge Construction
Foundation & Piling Works: Deep piling and reinforcement to ensure stability in swampy terrain.
Deck & Superstructure: Erection of reinforced concrete beams and bridge deck with proper load-bearing capacity.
Approach Roads: Smooth transition ramps connecting the bridge to the main road.
Ancillary Works
Erosion Control Measures: Gabion walls, slope stabilization, and embankment protection.
Safety Features: Installation of guardrails for safety.
Environmental Compliance: Adherence to environmental impact assessment (EIA) regulations.
