The Federal Government has blamed heavy rainfall and gridlock for the delay in completing the reconstruction of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway by the end of April.

He, however, assured motorists plying the route that the Federal Government was determined to complete the project but said he couldn’t give an exact date of completion as he couldn’t predict the weather.

“So, as we move into the next month , we expect that the rain will still be heavy and it will be a bit difficult but what we want to assure motorists is that we are determined to complete this project, we are fully on the ground. “As a matter of fact, we opened access in the OPIC axis, that is from the Kara Bridge to the Long Bridge and what is left is just about a kilometre as you enter Lagos and then maybe another two kilometres as you are leaving Lagos and we are fully determined with enough men on the ground to achieve this,” Kuti stated.All rights reserved.
