Two construction giants, Julius Berger Nigeria Plc and Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) have returned to site to resume work on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports.

Reconstruction and rehabilitation works on the highway were suspended due to some issues with the Federal Government which include funding.

According to NAN, officials of both Julius Berger and RCC were seen moving heavy equipment to sites with their men already mobilised to work on the various sections.

NAN investigations also revealed that Julius Berger began work on Friday, while RCC moved to site on Tuesday.

NAN observed piles of crash barriers at Wawa, which is part of Section one from Lagos to Sagamu interchange, being handled by Julius Berger.

Also, officials of Julius Berger were seen using earth moving equipment to carry crash barriers to demarcate construction zones.

An engineer, who did not want to be named, told NAN that the demarcation was for effective traffic management.

The rehabilitation of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway was awarded in 2013 at a total cost of N167 billion by the administration of former President Goodluck Jonathan.
