Adeyoye observed that the topography of the area made it prone to flooding in addition to blockage of the channels as a result of the construction of illegal structures.

Noting that the new design will address the issue of flooding, the Special Adviser stated that the project would be executed in phases with the construction of bridges to ensure the roads were above water level.
