Buruku Bridge Construction Stalled Since July Over Funding Constraints

Construction work on the Buruku Bridge in Benue State has remained stalled since July, according to field observations. The prolonged halt has raised concerns about when the project will resume, the impact of rising construction costs, and the overall timeline for completion.

The bridge is expected to improve connectivity and facilitate the movement of people, agricultural produce and goods between Buruku and surrounding communities. Residents and stakeholders are now waiting for clarity on the government’s plan to restart and complete the project.
