Osun State Government on Monday has assured motorists of timely completion of Olaiya flyover project within the stated nine months.
The Commissioner for Works and Transportation, Engr. Remi Omowaye during the inspection of the work, said he is hopeful that the project could be delivered ahead of time.
NatureNews recalls that the state government had in February this year inaugurated the N2.7 billion 625 metres flyover at Olaiya Intersection to be completed in November.
Omowaye who spoke to the Vanguard said, “Three months ago we started this project and we are on the activities of fourth months and if you look at the project you can see that we are doing significantly well and by God’s grace we are going to finish this project on the 9th month.
“What I can say from our work schedule is that we are in the activity of the fourth month, work rate here is over 30 percent, which is an indication that we are moving faster than we envisaged. We make sure that we did not compromise standards and all regulatory bodies come here often and they see that we did not compromise standards.
“While we are waiting for piles to cast we started doing drainage which supposed to be activities of week five but instead of us to wait we started to do drainages. What is important is not the percentage of construction but the fact that we are running the projects on the site simultaneously. Everything that is needed for the construction is on ground.”
