Again, FG fails to deliver Lagos-Ibadan Expressway at April end

The Federal Government has again postponed the reopening of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The Minister of Works and Housing, Mr Babatunde Fashola, in a statement by his Special Adviser on Communications, Mr Hakeem Bello, said the April 30 date earlier stated would no longer be feasible.

The minister said the development was due to heavy traffic being experienced from toll gate to the Kara Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

He said the reconstruction work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway had entered its final phase with work within OPIC area between Kara Bridge and Long Bridge completed.

He lauded the patience of the motoring public for enduring longer than usual traffic as the reconstruction work in the heavily built-up stretch progresses towards the finish line.
