The federal government has suspended construction works on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, in order to reduce possible gridlock during the Eid-el-Kabir celebration.
This development was announced in a statement issued by the federal controller of works in Lagos state, Olukorede Kesha, on Monday, June 26.
Kesha said that the suspension of work on the ever-busy road would be from June 27 to July 2.
The statement reads, “Due to the recent heavy traffic flow being experienced on the Lagos-Shagamu route in the last couple of days, forthcoming Eid-el-Kabir, and advice of the traffic management team deployed to manage traffic related issues on the project, construction activities on this important highway will be suspended from Tuesday, 27th of June, to Sunday, 2nd of July, 2023.
“This is to allow travellers easy passage during the Eid-el-Kabir holiday and minimise the discomfort during this very important period.
“Travellers are advised to cooperate with traffic management team deployed on the highway to manage traffic.”
