The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has warned motorists to avoid the Lagos-Ibadan expressway because of the gridlock at Ibafo-Magboro up to the Long Bridge.
The gridlock stalled traffic in and out of Lagos.
The FRSC PRO, Bisi Kazeem, blamed Julius Berger for the traffic jam and advised motorists to take alternative routes to Lagos to avoid delay.
The alternative routes recommended are Lagos-Ota-Abeokuta; Epe-Ajah-Ijebu Ode; and Lagos-Ikorodu-Sagamu.
A Nigerian made a Twitter post about the gridlock with venom: “@Toylink: don’t even think of using LAGOS/IBADAN EXPRESSWAY today. Its a disaster. Ppl slept n woke up in the traffic and still in it. This is a messed up country. This is d 7th month JB has been at one spot in the road construction. I jst can’t imagine this is a country.”
Ride with Gidicab also wrote on Twitter: “If you must travel on LAGOS IBADAN EXPRESSWAY this morning kindly use alternate routes….
