Following the ongoing reconstruction of a section of the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, the federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has urged the motorists plying the road to support and cooperate with the concerned authorities.
The Federal Road Safety Corp boss, Boboye Oyeyemi made this call during his visits to the ongoing reconstruction work on the expressway.
Boboye said that there will be heavy gridlock on the road occasioned by partial closure of the road. He thereby urged the motorists to endure as the reconstruction will soon end.

Meanwhile, Head, Media and Strategy, of the Federal Road Safety Commission Bisi Kazeem, has advised motorists plying the Lagos-Ibadan expressway to seek alternative routes due to ongoing repairs on the route.
He gave the advice in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday.
“In view of this, motorists could take these alternative routes: motorists from Benin could link Lagos through Ijebuode -Epe -Lekki or Ijebuode -Ikorodu.
“Those from Ibadan -Lagos could use Odo- Ona-Apata-Omi Adio-Abeokuta -Itori -Ifo-Sango Ota, Sagamu -Papa Lanto- Ifo- Sango Ota and Sagamu -Ofada- Mowe.
“Traffic from Lagos -Benin could use Epe or Ikorodu axis to link Ijebu- Ode. Traffic from Lagos -Ibadan axis could use Sango Ota- Ifo- Abeokuta –Ibadan,’’ he said.
Kazeem said that ambulances, motorcycles, patrol vehicles and tow trucks had been adequately deployed with enough personnel to control traffic.
