The Federal Government has announced that repair work on the damaged expansion joints on the Kara Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will commence on September 8.
The rehabilitation is expected to be completed within two weeks, the Federal Ministry of Works said on Saturday.
The Acting Controller, Federal Ministry of Works, Ogun State, Engr. Richard Adeleye, disclosed this while speaking with journalists during an inspection of the affected portion of the expressway.
Adeleye said the repair had become necessary because the expansion joints had exceeded their service life and were posing risks to motorists using the busy highway.
