The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) on Monday alerted motorists on heavy traffic along the Kubwa Expressway in Abuja following an accident.

The accident involved a trailer that obstructed movement on the busy route.

In a statement posted on its official social media handle, the corps described the situation as an “unusual traffic gridlock,” adding that emergency teams had been mobilised to clear the obstruction.

“The Federal Road Safety Corps wishes to inform the public that there is an unusual traffic gridlock along Kubwa expressway caused by a fallen trailer.

“While efforts are being made to remove the obstruction, motorists are advised to be patient and ply the road with caution,” the FRSC said.

According to the corps, personnel are managing traffic flow at the scene while recovery operations continue to restore normal movement.

The corps appealed to all road users to remain calm, obey traffic instructions and exercise patience until the expressway is fully cleared.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the Kubwa corridor is one of the busiest access routes between satellite towns and the Abuja city centre, and any disruption often resulted in long vehicular queues. (NAN)
