Hundreds of motorists and commuters experienced significant delays on Sunday due to the ongoing road construction at the Berger end of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The situation worsened when the construction workers reduced both lanes of the expressway to just two, leading to a build-up of traffic and leaving many people trapped.

Drivers and passengers expressed frustration at the lack of alternative routes and the slow progress of the construction.

Some motorists resorted to driving against traffic in an attempt to avoid the congestion.

The gridlock extended from the Long Bridge area down to the New Garage section of the expressway.

The Federal Road Safety Corps urged motorists to cooperate with traffic officers and follow instructions to ensure smoother traffic flow.

The situation highlighted the need for improved coordination and communication during road construction projects to minimize inconvenience and congestion.
