The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), says it has embarked on sensitisation of motorists to use alternative routes to neighbouring states following the collapse of Bauchi – Gombe highway.

FRSC Sector Commander in charge of Bauchi State, Patrick Ikaba disclosed this in an interview with newsmen on Wednesday in Bauchi.

The road collapsed due to flooding resulting from downpour on Sunday.

The situation forced some of the motorists travelling from Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba to Abuja and other parts of the country to take an alternative route through the Gombe – Dukku -Darazo -Bauchi road.

He said the Corps had provided cordon tapes, reflective cones, and employed personnel 50 metres to the affected area to control traffic and avert accidents

“We are ensuring safety at the washed-off point under rehabilitation, and we have provided red flags at 50 to 100 metres away from the scene.

“This is done to alert oncoming motorists of the danger ahead,” he said.

Ikaba further called on all motorists plying the road to be patient as the site engineers had promised that the road would become free by the end of the week.
