*The Niger Bridge: ply only during the early morning hours and very late in the night
*Afor Nnobi Junction: if you are going to Nnewi or Nkpor axis, kindly follow the in-road in Nnobi,use either the junction by Hon Charles Odedo’s compound or the spur by Madonna Catholic church Nnobi,if you are going to Awka Etiti or Igbukwu Axis Use the Obeledu road by Adazi Nnukwu or the other spurs on Adazi Ani road.
