The federal government has announced the suspension of work on the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from Tuesday.
The announcement was made on Monday by the Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Engr. Olukorede Kesha, in a statement she issued.
According to her, the suspension followed the “heavy traffic flow being experienced on the Lagos Shagamu route in the last couple of days, the inclement weather conditions, the forthcoming Eid Kabir and the advice of the traffic management team deployed to manage traffic related issues on the project.”
She said the work would resume on Sunday, July 2, 2023.
She stated that the suspension of work would “allow travellers easy passage during the Eid holiday and minimise the discomfort of traffic gridlock during this very important period.
“Travellers are advised to cooperate with Traffic Management Team deployed on the highway to manage traffic.”
