The Apapa Wharf Road, being constructed by AG Dangote, has reached 75 per cent completion and will be delivered by the end of this month, the company has said.
The Project Manager, Tunde Jimoh, said the two-kilometre concrete road had been configured with a thickness of 80 centimetres to withstand heavy vehicular movement in the area. He explained, The road is divided into four sections to ease traffic during construction. All outbound has been completed. Presently, we are on the inbound of sections one and four, which will be completed shortly. The inbound of sections two and three will be completed in July, while everything about the road will end by the end of the month. The project is about 75 per cent now, the remaining 25 per cent will be completed by the end of July. Jimoh said the project initially suffered a setback due to gas pipelines found on the construction path.
The Project Director, AG-Dangote Construction Company Limited, Olatunbosun Kalejaiye, stated that the presence of heavy equipment on the road was to quicken construction, which began mid last year. Our focus is to finish the project with good quality work this month. As for longevity, the road will last for two generations, he added.
Meanwhile, the countrys longest concrete road project also being constructed by AG Dangote has a delivery date of December this year. The firm said commercial activities had started coming up along the 43-kilometre Obajana-Kabba Road in Kogi State. Kalejaiye stated that so far, 29km had been completed, adding that the project was part of the Corporate Social Responsibility of Dangote Cement Plc.
