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
Barricades will also be restored to ensure safety at the construction sites.
The Honourable Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Raji Fashola, had directed that construction barricades be returned to construction sites for safety purposes immediately.
This was following its removal at all construction sites on December 15, 2022 for ease of movement for the festivities.
According to Fashola, the Second Niger Bridge will, however, remain closed for public use with effect from Sunday, 15th January 2023 for continuation of work on the completion of the access roads to the bridge.
The Minister seeks the patience and understanding of motorists and members of the public on this action aimed at completing the ongoing projects.
