Construction giant, Julius Berger, will today, October 21, close part of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from Magboro to Punch as it extends reconstruction work on the stretch.
According to Mr. Clement Oladele, Ogun Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Commission, FRSC, the extension is to enable the company begin rehabilitation work on the 1.3 kilometres stretch of the expressway from Magboro to Punch.
The rehabilitation work will cause a temporary diversion of the Lagos bound traffic to the Sagamu bound carriageway from Magboro to Punch.

“This temporary diversion of traffic will transfer the Lagos inbound traffic to the same carriageway conveying traffic outward Lagos thereby making both the traffic inward and outward Lagos accommodated on the same section of the expressway within the 1.3 kilometres stretch of the road from Magboro to Punch in Ogun State,” Oladele said.
The rehabilitation work is expected to last till January 31, 2020.
