The Federal Capital Development Authority’s management has announced the closure of the Nnamdi Motorway carriageway and the Area 1 roundabout in the territory to allow construction on the Interchange to continue.
The FCDA announced on Friday that the main carriageways and service lanes on the Nnamdi Azikiwe Motorway, at the Area 1 roundabout, coming from the Airport, and vice versa, will be closed between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday, 23rd April and Sunday, 24th April 2023.
The Agency stated that the shutdown would result in the closure of all incoming traffic on the roads, and urged residents and motorists to take the alternative route provided by the contractor.
