Rail accident: NRC begins construction of flyovers at level crossings
The Nigerian Railway Corporation (NRC) says it has begun construction of underground pass and overhead bridges at the 11 level crossings across Lagos State to avoid accident.
The Managing Director of the corporation, Mr Fidet Okhiria, made this known in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos on Tuesday.
According to him, we have started the separation of road from the rail in Oyingbo and Ebute-Metta.
He said the corporation had constructed an underground pass and an overhead pass at the Agege level crossing.
“We are going to have 11 flyovers within Lagos and we cannot do all at the same time. We are constructing them in batches.
“Before now, we constructed barriers and they were vandalised; we even constructed automatic barriers which were also vandalised.
“Although we have been repairing them, especially the automatic barriers, they do not last for a week after such repairs.
“It is either they hit the barriers with vehicles or people vandalise them overnight,” Okhiria said.
