Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has returned to site on the Lagos-Ibadan express way ahead of its plan to start full repair works 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 to the site, on Thursday, revealed that officials and other workers of the company were already on the road preparing for the work ahead.
Officials of the company said 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 August 8 at the Wawa bus-stop along the expressway.
The company had already started moving heavy duty equipment and road barriers from its yard at the Sagamu-Interchange to Wawa bus-stop.
The rehabilitation of the entire Lagos-Ibadan express way was awarded in 2013 at a total cost of N167 billion by former President Goodluck Jonathan.
The expressway is now being built to three lanes on both sides up to Sagamu Junction and two lanes up to Ibadan.
A flyover and interchange are being built at the Redemption Camp area to solve the perennial traffic gridlock on that section of the road.
