INVITATION FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST (EOI) AND PRE-QUALIFICATION FOR ENGINEERING, PROCUREMENT AND CONSTRUCTION (EPC) OF TRAFFIC SYSTEM MANAGEMENT (TSM) MEASURES IN EDO STATE

(1) INTRODUCTION
Edo State is located in the southern part of Nigeria and serves as a transport hub with unique position as a gateway to many other States including Ondo, Delta, and Kogi. It therefore serves a gateway to the South-West, South-south, South-East and North- Central Regions of Nigeria.

Its strategic location makes it the centre for trade, commerce, and industry, with a huge potential for the establishment of Truck Transit Parks at different locations of the state to aid the transportation of goods for traders and organisations.

This unique advantage also makes the State to be major transit route for trucks, who are prone to parking indiscriminately along the roadways, causing a lot of damage to road surfaces and to road-shoulders.

Part of the challenges of growing Cities – like Benin, is traffic congestion. Among other reasons for traffic congestion is inadequate management of road junctions and intersections. Seventy percent (70%) of traffic congestion has been found to originate from junctions and intersections because junctions generally handle more traffic than the individual roads leading to the junctions and the lack of adequate traffic systems management measures cause the situation to rapidly deteriorate to traffic snarls.

Towards improving the traffic conditions in general, signalised junctions all over the world would provide an efficient, quick and cheaper solution to city traffic problem and would improve traffic situation significantly from the current logjam.

In view of the above, the Traffic System Management (TSM) would serve as an immediate solution that will increase the capacity of the junctions, provide quick relief, improve public safety and also reduce travel times for all road users in Edo State.
