The Lagos and Ogun state governments have been working with the Department of Labor and Housing to ensure traffic jams, which began between Friday, March 26.
In a press release to The Info Page News, ongoing work on the Berger OPIC axle aims to complete the expressway rebuild in a timely manner to create a first-class road that will make expressway driving a smooth experience.
As stated in a statement by the federal controller, Engr. F. Oloyede should make the public aware that the massive gridlock is due to the impatience of some motorists who, at the slightest excuse, will swerve into traffic, causing enormous difficulties for other motorists.
As agreed by all parties, the contractor has been ordered to close all illegal road detours, particularly between Magboro and OPIC.
This is to prevent the illegal U-turn at OPIC, which is also exacerbating the deadlock within this axis.
Law enforcement agencies including the police, FRSC and LASTMA have been tasked with controlling traffic along the route.
Any motorist caught removing any of the barriers used to block all illegal detours will be arrested and prosecuted.
Motorists are therefore advised to refrain or face the full wrath of the law.
Lagos and Ogun traffic management personnel are on hand to ensure an unimpeded flow of traffic.
Motorists who drive against traffic (one-way streets) or turn at unauthorized intersections will regret their indiscretion. You will be prosecuted.
Security has been tightened around the corridor.
The project promises world-class transportation infrastructure that will end congestion on the expressway.
