The 10-lane Abuja Airport Expressway commissioned by former President Goodluck Jonathan at the twilight of his administration on 7, May 2015, is gradually giving way, and becoming a death trap for road users. Julius Berger was awarded N59 billion in 2009 for the expansion of the road from four to 10 lanes by the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) and the Federal Capital Development Agency (FCDA). Barely three months after its formal commissioning by Jonathan, the road is gradually giving way with erosion creating huge craters at the shoulders while potholes are emerging at different points of the expressway. http://www.pmnewsnigeria.com/2015/08/13/n59bn-abuja-airport-expressway-becoming-a-death-trap/ 2 Likes 2 Shares

That road is still in top shape and together with the Kubwa 10-lanes expressway remains the best superhighways in Nigeria - courtesy of GEJ The portion the first two pictures are taken from is not the expressway itself bu the T-junction leading to Idu and CITEC-Mbora 73 Likes |

I saw a documentary some years ago , can't remember the name, but it was about roads built in America in the 1920's or so that are still in perfect conditions today. Upshot is, roads can last long. Roads built in Nigeria are deliberately substandard for the purpose of generating contractors money, climate has little to do with it. I haven't a clue about road building so don't laugh when i suggest maybe we should construct our roads using steel sheets. Expensive in the short term but money saving long term. Just think, roadside sellers would be able to roast yam and plantain on the surface for free and dogs and madmen would think twice before scampering across roads causing nuisance. ![]() 6 Likes |
