The Eastern byepass is the major transit point for travellers coming from the North-Central, North-West and Southern part of the country. 

It spans from Kakau village along Kachia road to Mararaban Jos along the Kaduna-Zaria Road.

Goods and services are usually delivered through that road to other parts of Nigeria.

The blockade has caused hardship for other road users.
