Motorists plying the Akute-Lambe-Agbado road in Ifo Local Government Area of Ogun State are expected to be relieved of the hardship of the hitherto dilapidate road as Craneburg construction company has commenced the reconstruction of the ever-busy road.
A statement from the governor’s office assured that the people of the area would join millions of other residents of Ogun State in driving on motorable roads as part of Prince Dapo Abiodun-led administration’s drive to make life easier for the populace through sustained infrastructure development across the state.
Already, the construction company has commenced the mobilization of heavy-duty equipment to the site. The execution of earthworks has also started across multiple sections of the road, and construction work proper is expected to begin immediately.
The infrastructure project, which will benefit several communities in the area, covers critical stretches, including Akute Bridge, Oke Aro Stream, and Agbado Bridge, among others. When concluded, it will serve as a vital link between several densely populated communities in Ifo Local Government Area of the state.

Eyewitness reports from the site of the project indicated that road grading and leveling works were ongoing, while the roadbed is being shaped with SEM 920F motor graders and bulldozers and that construction of drains and laybys was expected to commence soon.
An eyewitness said: “Excavators and dump trucks are moving in to deposit lateritic soil as part of the base preparation, with clear evidence of material layering to ensure durability.”
The road project is part of a broader effort by the Ogun State government to enhance infrastructure, improve transportation, and stimulate economic growth in the area. The project is also aimed at addressing long-standing infrastructure challenges and improving the overall quality of life for residents of Ifo Local Government Area and its environs.
Other road projects had been executed in the area by the Abiodun-led administration, focusing on improved connectivity. These include the Akute-Ajuwon road in Ifo II State Constituency, Alagbole-Akute road, Akute-Ijoko-Oke Aro road, Sango-Ijoko-Akute road, and Denro-Ishashi-Oluwakemi road.
