The Federal Government on Tuesday said traffic would be diverted on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway around Makun section for 72 hours to enable the contractor to install a bridge beam.
The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr Olukayode Popoola, said this during inspection of ongoing reconstruction/rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway project.
He said the diversion would begin on Wednesday, July 28 and end on Friday 30 July, a total of 72 hours. Popoola said contrary to media speculations, it would only take 72 hours to launch the beams of the flyover because the diversion points had already been created about 400 meters away from the construction zone.
The controller said adequate road diversion signs had been provided and there would be a collaboration between traffic regulatory and law enforcement agencies to avert gridlock.He appealed to motorists to be lane disciplined and obey all diversion signs and traffic laws and assured that there would be seamless movement on the highway.
