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.

Motorists observing traffic emergencies can contact the FRSC toll free number 122.
