Work to Resume on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Godwin Eke, says that the construction work on Section 1 of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway had been 50 percent completed before the contractors, Julius Berger, mobilized by the Federal Government, left site due to debts. He disclosed that work would resume in March as the contractors have been mobilized. He said this after his inspection of road projects at the Lagos axis on Wednesday. Section 1 of the project spans from old toll gate plaza at Ojota in Lagos State to Sagamu Interchange in Ogun State. Section 2, which spans from the Sagamu Interchange to Ibadan in Oyo State, is being handled by Reynolds Construction Company. Eke, the supervisor of Section 1 of the expressway, said: “Recently, we got approval for augmentation because, at a point, Julius Berger could not make claims for works already executed. “So, now that we have the approval in our hands, construction work will soon resume fully on Section 1 of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The controller also said construction work had resumed on the two pedestrian bridges on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway. He explained that the contractors had earlier abandoned site because there was the need to harmonize the design of the footbridge project. He said the bridges are the Bus Rapid Transit project being executed by the Lagos State Government on the highway. Adapted From: Daily Post Image: Daily Times
