The gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway got worse as travellers returning from the Sallah celebration were trapped in traffic that lasted many hours.
Both sides of the expressway at Longbridge and Magboro, Ogun State, were blocked and vehicular movement was at a standstill after impatient motorists and commercial drivers drove against traffic.
the traffic snarl at Berger, Lagos State, spread to inner roads, including Ogba, Alausa, and Ojodu areas of the state.
The traffic on the expressway resurfaced recently after the resumption of construction works at the Otedola/Secretariat end of the road.
