We’ll toll Ijebu-Ode-Epe road on completion ― Ogun Commissioner

The Ogun State Commissioner for Works and Infrastructure, Engr Ade Akinsanya, has said that the 14-kilometre Ijebu-Ode-Mojoda-Epe federal road will be tolled on completion.

He said this in a statement issued by the ministry’s Press Officer, Femi Olayinka, and made available to the Tribune Online, that the road reconstruction would be done through public-private-partnership, and that the toll fee would be expended on it for maintenance purposes.

Akinsanya said the reconstruction of the road became imperative to the government based on its socio-economic benefits, submitting that the road would be completed within 12 months.

The commissioner noted that the road which links Lagos will have two and a half lanes in each direction, lay-bys and 14 box coverts and bridges, while other features would include refuge/ breakdown lanes, drainages and street lights which he said will make the road seamless to connect Lagos.

Engr Akinsanya further stressed that travel hours will be significantly reduced, while the standard of living of people, living and working along the corridor, will greatly improve.

He, therefore, appealed to the motorists plying the road to be wary of overspeeding and be mindful of men and equipment on the construction site while the project lasts.
