Road Users Lament As Heavy Traffic Holdup Takes Over Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

Traffic Lockdown On Lagos-Ibadan Expressway

The usual heavy traffic associated with the popular Lagos-Ibadan expressway reached a new height on Tuesday, forcing users to cry out on social media.

Reports obtained by Naija News has it that both lanes (in-bound and out-bound) of the expressway is currently blocked, causing a major traffic bedlam.

It will be recalled that repair work is currently been done on the road, forcing contractors to block off some sections of the road.

The repair works will, however, resume by January 2020 after the Christmas and new year celebrations.

Traffic demons are having their annual convention on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. Yesterday was the opening ceremony and it was really crazy. It’s Day 2.

So If you are traveling into Lagos or outside Lagos using the Lagos Ibadan expressway, just go back and sleep at home, today isn’t a good day to pass that road, as both lane is on total lock down.

Don’t say I didn’t do anything for you in this life.
