The closure caused serious problem to vehicular movements, Okere Road being a major link between the western and eastern parts of Warri Urban.
The alternate roads of Esisi and Ogboru were difficult to access because they were not motorable enough to contain the volume of traffic caused by the closure of Okere Road mostly during rush hours.
