The A3 highway is a major arterial road in Nigeria , connecting the city of Port Harcourt in the south to the Cameroon border at Gamboru in the northeast. It is a transportation route, serving several cities and regions in Nigeria.
Route
[ edit ]
The A3 highway spans approximately 1502 kilometers. It starts from Port Harcourt in the south and heads north, passing through several cities and regions, including Aba , Umuahia , Okigwe , Enugu , Ngwo , Makurdi , Lafia , Jos , Bauchi , Potiskum , Damaturu , Maiduguri , and finally reaching Gamboru in the northeast at the Cameroon border.
The highway eventually crosses the border into Cameroon at Gamboru and connects to N'Djamena , the capital of Chad .
Gamboru Bridge
[ edit ]
On May 9, 2014, the bridge linking Gamboru to the rest of Nigeria, as well as the immigration checkpoints of both Cameroon and Nigeria , was destroyed in an attack by Boko Haram militants .[1] [2]
As a result of the bridge's destruction, hundreds of heavy-duty trucks transporting commodities between Chad and Nigeria were left stranded on both sides of the bridge.[3]
On May 13, 2014, the House of Representatives called on the Federal Government to rebuild the Gamboru Bridge, which serves as a crucial link between the border town and other parts of Borno State .[4]
Incidents
[ edit ]
On February 9, 2020, a tragic massacre occurred on the A3 highway in Auno, located between Damaturu and Maiduguri .[5]
