Toll Gates will return to Lagos-Ibadan Expressway - Fashola

 

The Minister of Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola, has said the Federal Government will return toll gates to the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway after the highway is restored.

Talking on Channels Television's 'Sunday Politics', Fashola said three toll plazas were expected on the interstate after all works  on the expressway have been finished by December 2022.

Fashola said a toll gate is expected in the Lagos, Ogun (Ogere) and Ibadan pivot of the expressway when finished.

The minister likewise uncovered the government's plan towards completing the Second Niger Bridge project in the South-Eastern part of the country.

Fashola said the current administration likewise plans to open the bridge before Christmas, notwithstanding the difficulties confronting the venture.

“We are planning also before Christmas to open that to the public for use because that is when there is a large movement.

 

“Hopefully, by Christmas, it will be opened. That was the last meeting I had with the contractor about three weeks ago.”
