The gridlock on the Abuja-Lokoja highway has eased up for motorists and commuters because the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) opened a second lane for traffic flow.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports on Tuesday in Koton-Karfe that

there is easy flow of traffic on both lanes that is Lokoja-Kotonkarfe-Abuja and Abuja-Koton-Karfe-Lokoja routes at early morning of the day.

Mr Kumar Tsukwam, the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) Sector Commander in Kogi, said that the unfortunate gridlock, which began on Sunday has finally been tackled through drastic measures.

“We took a proactive measure by meeting with the Federal Ministry of works and the construction companies along the route so as to mitigate on finding possible solutions.

“Part of it is that the contractors should fast-track works and create alternative road to ease vehicular movement.

“As it is, the gridlock at the Koton-karfe and environs has drastically reduced. Thanks to the combined efforts of operatives mobilised from RS8.3 Kogi Sector, RS8.33 Koton-karfe Unit Command, Corridor 3 and military personnel,” he said. (NAN)
