Less than two months after a construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria Limited, repaired the expansion joints at the Longbridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, PUNCH Metro reports that the joints have reopened.
Shomekun said, “It is surprising that the same thing keeps happening on the Longbridge. I think the construction company needs to find the best way to solve the problem.”He said, “Each time I drive through that bridge, I wonder how Julius Berger is proud to associate with such a bad job. They can’t do this in their country. This is far below par.”
He said, “A little gap is permissible at the joints, but if it’s a depression, it has to be repaired and due process has to be followed.” Adebote said the permanent repair of the expansion joints had begun on the Kara Bridge and would soon be extended to the Longbridge.
