Fed Govt diverts traffic to fix flyover beam

By Okwy lroegbu-Chikezie

The Federal Government said yesterday that traffic would be diverted on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, around Makun section for 72 hours, to enable the contractor install a bridge beam.

The Federal Controller of Works in Lagos, Mr. Olukayode Popoola, said this during the inspection of ongoing reconstruction/rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway project.

He appealed for understanding and urged the public to disregard rumours that the road would be closed.

Popoola said traffic would be diverted on a stretch of just 400 metres around the construction zone where beams were to be laid on the flyover under construction at Makun, near Sagamu Interchange.
