Osun State Government has assured residents that the on going Olaiya Flyover bridge would be completed ahead of the scheduled time.
The Commissioner for Works and Transportation, Remi Omowaiye in the company of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Works and Transportation, Toke Olaniyan disclosed this while speaking with journalists after inspection of the project.
Recall that on Thursday, February 28, Governor Gboyega Oyetola flagged off the construction of Olaiya flyover in Osogbo.
The N2.7 billion flyover, handling by Messrs Peculiar Ultimate Concerns Limited, is a 4-span of 15m each, with two Underpass bays for U-turning to Fakunle/Justrite and MDS/Post Office.
His words: We started this project three months ago, we are in the fourth month, which means we are going to finish this project under nine months. 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.
“Before we started this project, we carried out our environmental impact assessment to look at the impact of the closure of Olaiya on the immediate environment. We keep reviewing the impact and I can tell you we are able to manage all the challenges.
