Motorists plying the Ado-Aramoko expressway have again appealed to the concerned authorities to help them fix the bad portions along the route.

The respondents made the appeal in an interview with Radio Nigeria while reacting to the issue of failed portions on the road which prevented easy movement of vehicles due to two damaged trailers.

The respondents said the trailers, which are at the same spot between Igede and Aramoko, prevented vehicular movement.

While some called for separate roads for heavy-duty vehicles, many agreed that concrete-built roads would stand the test of time.
