Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has returned to site on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway ahead of its plan to start full repair works again by the end of September.

The rehabilitation works on the road were stopped by the company some time ago following some issues with the Federal Government.

A visit by a correspondent of New Agency of Nigeria (NAN) to the site on Thursday revealed that officials and other workers of the company were already on the road preparing for the work ahead.

Some officials of the company told NAN that the road rehabilitation would start from kilometre 12 otherwise known as the ”long bridge” and would run towards the Shagamu Interchange.

They said the skeletal work started on Aug. 8 at the Wawa Bus-stop along the expressway.

NAN reports that the company has already started moving heavy duty vehicles and road barriers from its yard at the Sagamu-Interchange to Wawa Bus-Stop at Kilometre 12.

The barriers were being taken to Wawa Bus-Stop where workers were already repairing the median along the expressway.

Julius Berger started the road rehabilitation from the Shagamu Interchange towards Lagos during the initial phase of the reconstruction exercise.

The rehabilitation of the entire Lagos-Ibadan expressway was awarded in 2013 at a total cost of N167 billion by former President Goodluck Jonathan.

The six-lane road rehabilitation project is being handled by Julius Berger Construction Company and Reynolds Construction Company (RCC).

The expressway is now being built to three lanes on both sides up to Sagamu Junction and two lanes up to Ibadan.

A fly-over and inter-change are being built at the Redemption Camp area to solve the perennial traffic grid lock on that section of the road.
