We’ll open Kara Bridge to ease Lagos-Ibadan Expressway December 1st – FG

Adedamola Kuti, the Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, has revealed that the barricade around Kara Bridge would be removed on Sunday, December 1 to ease the traffic situation around that axis, TOPNAIJA.NG reports.

Earlier today, Kuti announced that construction work had been completed on that part of the road. According to him, when the contractors return to the site in January, construction work will commence on the outbound-Lagos traffic side of the road.

“Now that inbound has been completed, we don’t want to start work on the outbound and leave it halfway, so we decided to open the road to commuters tomorrow, Sunday, so that people can move freely this Christmas,” Kuti affirmed.

The contractor on section 1 of the road, Julius Berger, diverted both inbound and outbound traffic to one side of the road on September 2, when reconstruction of that part of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway commenced.

The Lagos-Ibadan expressway is one of Nigeria’s busiest stretch of road, and its partial closure for two months has resulted in a lot of pain for thousands of motorists and commuters alike.
