LAGOS, Nigeria – Motorists travelling towards Ibadan on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will face temporary traffic diversions from Thursday as authorities begin the installation of warning gantries on bridges along the corridor.
The Federal Road Safety Corps in Ogun State announced the diversion in a traffic advisory issued on Wednesday, saying the exercise forms part of ongoing safety improvements being undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Works.
According to the FRSC, Buildwell Construction Company has commenced work on the first bridge located in front of Mountain Top University at Kilometre 13 before Ibafo, with construction activities expected to reach a critical stage on Thursday.
“The Federal Ministry of Works, through Buildwell Construction Company, is undertaking the installation of warning gantries in front of bridges along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway,” the statement said.
“Cars, buses, pickup vans and mini trucks will be diverted through the Magboro Under-Bridge to Ibafo and subsequently rejoined to the expressway at the NASFAT U-turn,” the FRSC stated.
The corps added that articulated vehicles would be held temporarily for approximately 60 minutes to allow construction activities to proceed safely.
