Minister of Works, Dave Umahi has said the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is scheduled to be completed by mid-September.
Gatekeepers News reports that the minister made the statement during a visit to the sites of completed and ongoing Federal Government projects in the Lagos State, Southwest Nigeria on Tuesday.
Work commenced on the ever-busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway years ago, and the reconstruction is currently on the last stretch of both sides after several missed deadlines.
The inspection tour started at outer Marina Road, in Victoria Island, a project constructed under the SUKUK financing option by the Federal Government.
The Minister then moved to the newly rehabilitated Eko Bridge, then to Ijora Olopa, the Lagoon section of Eko Bridge and Apapa.
Umahi was briefed by officials of the ministry and contractors handling different projects on that axis.
He is also expected to inspect the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the reconstructed Apapa Oshodi expressway, the Deep Sea Ports, and other Federal Government projects on the Lagos and Ogun corridor.
