BREAKING: Kara Bridge work completed, to reopen Sunday Dec 1 – FG

The Federal Government of Nigeria has said that the inbound Lagos section of the Kara Bridge near Berger along Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will be fully reopened on Sunday December 1, 2019 for ease of vehicular movement.

This means the barricades placed around the construction area of the heavily plied road  will be removed.

Federal Controller of Works, Lagos, Mr Adedamola Kuti, disclosed this in a media interview on Saturday, adding that construction work had been completed on that part of the road.

According to him, when the contractors return to the site in January, construction work will commence on the outbound-Lagos traffic side of the road.

“Now that inbound has been completed, we don’t want to start work on the outbound and leave it halfway, so we decided to open the road to commuters tomorrow, Sunday, so that people can move freely this Christmas,” Kuti said.

The contractor on section 1 of the road, Julius Berger, diverted both inbound and outbound traffic to one side of the road on September 2, when reconstruction of that part of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway commenced.
