One of the passengers stranded on the road told lamented that the Benin By-pass had become all travellers’ nightmare.
He added that today’s situation was ‘manageable’ because of the seat-at-home in the South-East. Otherwise, he noted, there would be no way for trapped vehicles to manoeuver at all.
The Benin Bye-pass was built years ago by the Federal Government to divert traffic from inside Benin town. It was also meant to alleviate the suffering of commuters travelling to the South-East and returning from Lagos.
Unfortunately, the four-lane expressway has suffered years of decay due to lack of maintenance.
