| Julius Berger Nigeria PLC. |
This is
to bring to the attention of the motoring public, that in view of the
ongoing road rehabilitation work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the
construction company, Julius Berger Nigeria PLC has notified the Corps of
extension of rehabilitation work on the Expressway from the Magboro to
Punch section of the carriageway. This is to enable the construction company
commence rehabilitation on the 1.3 kilometers stretch of the Expressway from
Magboro to Punch.
Accordingly
the rehabilitation work would cause the temporary diversion of the Lagos
bound traffic to the Sagamu bound carriageway from Magboro to Punch.
A statement
signed by Florence Okpe, the Route Commander Public and Education Officer,
Federal Road Safety Corps, Ogun State Command, the temporary diversion of
traffic would 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 Magoro to Punch in Ogun
State.
Accordingly,
motorists are to note this occurrence and plan their trips by allowing more
time to their travelling time, in view of the construction work that would
narrow the carriage way which may impair motorisation.
While commending
the motoring public for their patience and cooperation, they should still
bear with the inconveniences this temporary diversion may cause.
The
Federal Road Safety Corps Ogun State Sector Commander, Corps Commander Clement
Oladele has accordingly advised motorists to continue to cooperate with the
FRSC patrol teams and sister traffic and emergency agencies that will be
strategically deployed to control the diverted traffic, around the
rehabilitation sections.
In
addition Motorists are further reminded to drive within the maximum
speed limit of 50km per hour, prescribed by the National Road Traffic
Regulations, 2012, as the maximum speed at construction zones, to avoid road
traffic crashes.
Motorists
are also enjoined to observe lane discipline and avoid driving against
traffic, as violators risk impoundment of their erring vehicles and liable to
payment of fifty thousand (N50,000) naira traffic fine.
