Julius Berger Barricades Causes Traffic Along Abuja Airport Road by MurphyT1: 10:25am On Jan 17, 2013
The barricades placed by construction giant, Julius Berger, along the newly expanded Airport Road in Abuja has caused serious traffic snarl Thursday morning.

Motorists spend over two hours without much movement.

Some of the motorists who spoke to PREMIUM TIMES complained bitterly about the barricades.

“This people have almost completed this road, yet they will block everywhere and make life difficult for Nigerians, can they do this in any other country?,” one the motorists asked.

Already the motorists have gathered into a mob and have started removing the barricades.

Though the road was already opened for motorists, Julius Berger said it still has a few things to do to complete the construction.

Hmmmmm, Berger are taking we Nigerians for a ride that's all i can say. What stops Berger from doing the little % left at night or if that's not possible which it is. Why can't they open the roads say till 9am because they ain't working at that time and traffic is usually on the high side in the mornings. 2. Open the roads again from 5pm because by this time traffic is also high and also we see that them Berger have closed for the day.... If this was in the South or East Berger in either wildest dreams will not try what they are doing now.... Its about time government reviews their contract because this shows that they are not capable of handling more that two jobs at a time like seriously..... Call the Chinese..

what is there to understand in that rubbish they are doing on that road al-qaeda , you block the whole over 9km road doing nothing, why not segment the work. in fact, if the road had been well planned out , that intersection at the City Gate shouldn't have existed at first, it would have ran in parallel to each other across the stadium, all the way to the major express road.

JB, normally doesn't block the entire assess road and stay doing nothing at the same time. Another assess road may have been provided somewhere, but those motorists are just too impatient to find out.

I live at Lugbe and there was no alternate road to alleviate the traffic jam! Today's jam was a gridlock or dreadlock....even motorist coming in from fed housing fly-over were trapped on the fly-over.

ROAD COMPLETION is rather a relative word. After tarring of the road, which everyone else sees as total road completion, there are still some other minute jobs to be done to give the road a total finish. E.g. road marking, placing street warning signs, road electrification etc. JB could be doing any of these, which people wouldn't readily notice. But all the same, an alternate assess should have been provided to aid vehicular movement.
I can feel ur frustration!
Re: Julius Berger Barricades Causes Traffic Along Abuja Airport Road by MurphyT1: 1:33pm On Jan 17, 2013

I don't work there but JB happens to be in the same industry as me. My advice: Find an alternate route.

And JB should be told to cover up the drainages as it has caused so many accidents with vehicles crashing inside slightest mistakes.
Re: Julius Berger Barricades Causes Traffic Along Abuja Airport Road by 2Legit2Qui: 4:19pm On Jan 17, 2013
This road is still under construction for God's sake. You wont blame the delay on insensitive drivers of those commercial cabs who park on the road to pick and drop passengers. You wont blame it on those who drive on the space between the drainage and the road and go on coming to join the main traffic thereby causing hold up.if everyone files on the two lanes provided, there wont be so much hold up, but as usual, blame it on government and not on people's driving attitude.

eshovictor: And JB should be told to cover up the drainages as it has caused so many accidents with vehicles crashing inside slightest mistakes.

Any car that crashes in the drainage on that road must be driven by a drunk driver. There is ample gap/space between the road and the drainages, there exists a shoulder between the drainage and the road, so, any driver that crashes into the drainage must be drunk.

Haba. Must we criticise everything?

We need to be honest here the road is still under construction! it is a damn construction site. All we've suggested JB have done. We're simply impatient, have little or no regard for the attendant consequences of our actions & inactions whilst on the highways as road users. JB at their sites offer the best safety wise whilst construction is ongoing this notwithstanding the number of crashes on this road is scary. we should simply exude discipline and we'll get home & to our offices early enough.

Hmm, is only those who have tested the shoe know where it pinched the most.

It was terrible and wasn't a well thought-out exercise, in the side of JB.
