The contractors handling the Lagos–Badagry Expressway project, CCECC Nig. Ltd are back on site in a bid to regain all lost time after the covid19 induced lockdown and complete all lanes at the section covering Trade-Fair to Lagos State University (LASU).
Over 2.7km of construction has been completed on the service lane and 2.3km on the toll lane–Badagry bound.
The installation of drains, kerbs, barriers, etc. is ongoing, while the proposed diversion at Iyana-Iba is at the stone dust filling, spreading, and compaction stage.
At the Iyana-Iba interchange – Lagos bound side, construction is progressing in preparation for the erection of piers. The trimming of piles and the construction of pile caps are major points of concentration and this part of the project is almost completed.
The construction of the interchange at Alakija has seen a lot of progress, as most of the outstanding works are almost finished. Parapet walls are now being installed at the minute remaining sections, while the abutments at the FESTAC extension side have been readied for casting.
At the FESTAC extension deck-on-pile bridge, extensive work has gone into the exposure and trimming of piles, whereas reinforcements are currently being installed for the deck and capping beams casting.
