There are indications that the 2021 planned delivery date for the ongoing reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will be shifted again, following the stoppage of work on the project after the F
ederal Government announced a lockdown in the Federal Capital Territory, Lagos and Ogun states to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the country.
He said, “The fact is that the lockdown stopped a lot of activities, even now as we speak, we’ve not fully mobilised because we have a lot of expatriates who are associated with the project and are unable to come back. “If we discover that there will be a need for extension, the contractor will apply for that. But that is only if we find out that there is a cogent need for it to be extended.”
Julius Berger and officials of the works ministry had moved out of site after the Federal Government declared a lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and Abuja about two months ago. He said, “We are back to site. We moved back to site on Monday and, of course, as we are moving back, the whole process goes on gradually. The contractor too moved back to site on Monday.
Asked when work would fully resumed at the project site, the highways director stated that equipment being used for the construction process was currently being serviced on site.
