摘要：Considering the implications of the problem of road failure to man and the failure of Onitsha-Enugu Expressway which has been lingering for many years now, this work was borne with the aim of evaluating the stand of the road users on the Economic, Health and Environmental effects of the road failure of Onitsha-Enugu Expressway on them. To this effect, population of the road users was determined by volumetric analysis and their opinions were harnessed using questionnaire survey method. The data obtained was analyzed using Student-T test in which the available options were grouped into 2, namely agree and disagree. The test was done separately for economic, health and environmental effects respectively. It was found that there exist differences in the percentage of agreement and disagreement for each effect with the percentage of respondents in agreement being greater in all. The statistical analysis confirmed that there is significant difference. The work therefore concluded that the failure of Onitsha-Enugu Expressway has significantly negative economic, health and environmental effects on the road users. The work thus recommended an immediate intervention of the government to hasten the contractors and all concerned to repair this failed road in order to minimize these negative effects.
