Some road users on yesterday appealed to the Federal Government to adopt more measures to reduce gridlock as contractors returned to the site after the festive season to resume construction works on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
Work on the OPIC axis, which resulted in traffic snarl-ups and hardship to road users in the area, was suspended in December for the festive season to ease the movement of travellers, bringing relief to motorists.
Reporters who took a trip on Section One of the highway yesterday report that workmen who returned to the site on Tuesday were seen between Kara and OPIC on the Lagos-bound side.
Officials of the Federal Roads Safety Corps and TRACE were seen controlling traffic at the U turn around OPIC/Fatgbems filling station.
Some of the road users commended the swift return to site but emphasised the need to minimise hardship caused by impact of gridlock around construction zones.
