“This afternoon, we inspected the Olodo Bridge being constructed to replace the old bridge which collapsed after a heavy downpour last year.
“The bridge, which is already open to pedestrians, will be open to vehicular traffic in a week’s time.
“I also gave the go-ahead for the contractor to commence the second phase of the construction of the two-span bridge.”
