The Lagos State Government has assured residents that it would continue to tackle potholes and road defects that have posed challenges to the free movement of persons and goods.

The General Manager of Lagos State Public Works Corporation, Lateef Somide, gave this assurance, according to a statement on Wednesday, during a tour of some of the sites of ongoing road maintenance work at Itire-Lawanson Road, Surulere, Orishigun Street Ketu and Agbowa-Itoikin Road.

Somide explained that torrential rainfall has resulted in an upsurge in the emergence of potholes on many roads, especially those that are due for total reconstruction as they have outlived their span.

He said, “Under the Babatunde Sanwo-Olu administration, the agency’s operations have been configured to maintain a presence on Lagos roads in all seasons and that is why you will see our men fixing the roads even in the rain with interlocking paving stones as the hot asphalt premix normally used is not suitable for wet season.

“In order to minimise the challenges posed by bad roads to free movement of persons and goods during the wet season, the agency ensures that palliative interventions are carried out with the use of boulders on portions that are almost degenerating into craters while the use of cold mixed asphalt and interlocking paving stones are also employed either as palliative or outright fixing of some roads, depending on the terrain.

“The corporation swiftly deployed its men to many parts of the state immediately the rains abated so as to rapidly fix the potholes, using hot asphalt premix through both day and night operations. We are taking full advantage of the dry weather witnessed so far in the past one week to treat many defective road portions day and night.”

Somide added that over 20 roads have been maintained using hot asphalt premix and 25 roads were treated with boulders to provide temporary relief.
