The Cross River State Road Maintenance Agency (CR-ROMA) has moved into action in Calabar South, deploying engineers, field workers and modern road maintenance equipment to tackle critical failed sections along some of the Local Government Area’s busiest road corridors.
The intervention, led by the Agency’s Director-General, Hon. Christopher Ntui, is aimed at restoring damaged sections, eliminating potholes and improving traffic flow on key routes within the area.
Funded by the Cross River State Government, the rehabilitation covers strategic locations including Mayne Avenue by Atamunu, Mayne Avenue by Ekpo Abasi, Ekpo Abasi Roundabout and the Ekpo Abasi axis by New Airport Road.
Speaking on the scope of the intervention, Hon. Ntui clarified that the ongoing work is targeted at failed sections rather than a reconstruction of the entire road stretches.
“This work does not cover the entire stretch of the road but rather surface patching, asphalt overlay, and the remediation of failed road sections to eliminate potholes and ease traffic flow on that axis.”
He explained that fixing the affected sections of the high-traffic corridors would help reduce vehicular wear and tear, ease traffic bottlenecks and create a smoother flow of movement for residents, businesses and commuters who depend on the routes daily.
The Director-General further assured residents that CR-ROMA would continue to respond promptly to road maintenance challenges across the State, in line with the State Government’s commitment to maintaining a safe, seamless and motorable road network.
