Barricades return as FG resumes construction on major highways
The Federal Government in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja disclosed that barricades will soon return to major highways under construction as work resumed on them on Tuesday.
Mrs Blessing Lere-Adams of the Works and Housing Ministry said that contractors are now set to resume work on major highways especially the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway( from OPIC to the old toll gate) and the Abuja-Kaduna-Kano Expressway (around Kawo on the Kaduna-Zaria section).
Lere-Adams said the Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, had directed that construction barricades be returned at the construction sites for safety purposes with effect from Tuesday, Jan. 10, 2023.
Also, the second Niger bridge will remain closed from public use with effect from Sunday for continuation of work on the completion of the access roads to the bridge.
“The minister seeks the patience and understanding of motorists and the public on this action aimed at completing the on-going projects,” she said.
