Indeed?

Two construction giants — Julius Berger Nigeria Plc and Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) — have returned to site to resume work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Reconstruction and rehabilitation works on the highway were suspended due to some issues with the Federal Government which include funding.

A NAN correspondent, who took a trip on the highway on Saturday, reports that officials of both Julius Berger and RCC were seen moving heavy equipment to sites with their men already mobilised to work on the various sections.

NAN investigations revealed that Julius Berger began work on Friday, while RCC moved to site on Tuesday.

NAN observed piles of crash barriers at Wawa, which is part of Section one from Lagos to Sagamu interchange, being handled by Julius Berger.

Also, officials of Julius Berger were seen using earth moving equipment to carry crash barriers to demarcate construction zones.

An engineer, who did not want to be named, told NAN that the demarcation was for effective traffic management.

“The New Jersey Barricades (crash barriers) will be moved to the other carriageway when we finish work on this side, it will speed up our work and at the same time help to traffic control,’’ he said.

On Section two of the project which spans from Sagamu interchange to Ibadan, RCC surveyors were seen on site, while earth moving equipment were scarifying some sections of the road.

A surveyor, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, told NAN that survey works to determine heights and depths of the highway along Km 91 on the expressway had been on for two days.

“We have covered one kilometre so far.”
Also, officials of the firm were seen deploying their equipment at Alomoja to grade the road.
An official said:”We are grading, then we will remove the rubbish and give the road stone base and mill the road.”

NAN also observed that work was in progress around Oni Garri, close to the Ibadan old toll gate and other sections of the highway.

A Federal Ministry of Works official, who was monitoring resumption of work on the road, expressed satisfaction with the prompt compliance of the firms to return to site.
“Serious work has begun and hopefully by Monday laying of asphalt will begin on the second section.”

The rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was awarded in 2013 at a total cost of N167 billion by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan. (NAN)

olodo stop sitting in the comfort of your house, travel and heal your dementia illusions. Lagos - Ibadan road has been under expansion, overhaul and construction since the time of GEJ, Fashola is just completing about 30km from a 150km road.

Will it take anything out of you if comment without insulting. But, let me remind you that road construction and expansion started way back during OBJ, awarded to Bi-courtney. Even the case is still in court about bridge of concessions.
