The Kano State Government has set aside N15.97 billion to construct two new interchange bridges at Dan Agundi and Tal’udu roads in the city centre.
A statement by Commissioner for Information Baba Halilu Damtiye said the Kano State Executive Council, during its sitting on November 29, 2023, approved the construction of the two interchanges to decongest the ever-busy junctions, facilitate easy flow of traffic, boost business and commercial activities and enhance the general economic growth of the state as a centre of commerce.
Damtiye explained that the interchange located at Dan Agundi Junction, along BUK Road, and Tal’udu Junction, along Aminu Kano Way by Abdullahi Muhammed Wase Road, both in the metropolis, will each consist of an underpass and a flyover bridge.
He added that the construction has been awarded to Messrs. CGC Nigeria Limited at N15.97 billion to be jointly financed by the state and local governments.
According to him: “Motorists plying the affected roads are advised to use the numerous alternative routes and bear the temporary and brief inconvenience the execution of the projects might have caused them.”
