Julius Berger Nigeria Plc., who is currently handling the ongoing rehabilitation of the Barliet to Ilasa section of the Apapa-Oshodi Expressway says it will be completed next week.
The firm had been mobilized to site in May, by Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode of Lagos State following the public’s constant worry over their hardship on the dilapidated portion.
Construction activities, including grading, asphalt lay, earth works and reconstruction of drainage channels have commenced on the site. The development made the construction zone a beehive of activities with different earth moving equipment, rollers, pavers and trucks working on various stretches of the road on the Oshodi bound carriageway
“This is not a contract but an emergency repair being undertaken by the Lagos State Government. We have worked on 1.5 kilometres of road so far and we are also reconstructing this drainage channels that have collapsed. We have been on site for about three weeks and should complete the work in a week’s time from now. We have no challenges because we have been able to deploy adequate manpower and equipment to site,” said a Juluis Berger engineer.
