PHOTOS: Work Resumes On The Ijebu Ode-Epe Expressway, Ogun State

Ogun State Government has commenced the construction work on the Ijebu Ode-Epe Expressway, as workers begin cement stabilisation of subbase.

It will be recalled that in February, the Ogun State Government, Dapo Abiodun flagged off the 14km construction of Ijebu-Ode-Ikoto axis to Epe in Lagos.

The road, which lies at the border area and connects Nigeria’s economic nerve centre-Lagos, and Ogun, was awarded to Craneburg Construction under the public-private partnership arrangement under the Build, Use and Transfer programme, having included toll plazas where tolls will be collected for roads maintenance.

The Ijebu-Ode-Epe road will be a dual-carriage road with 10 lanes – four lanes on each side with one pull-out section, while the toll plaza consists of 14 lanes for easy payment of tolls.

The state government on Monday released images from the construction site detailing the level of work done on this road.

These are some of the photos from the site…

The Ijebu-Ode-Epe road construction would save travellers from traffic gridlock which is so common on the road where lots of priceless man hours were lost on hourly basis and also help to reduce the workload on the ever busy Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
