The Federal Executive Council (FEC) has approved the sum of N2.2 billion for the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Bill Clinton Airport Drive as well as for the procurement of field materials for the FCT Water Board.
In a request presented, the minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Malam Muhammad Musa Bello said that the road, which was constructed in the early eighties and has since exceeded its lifespan of 20 years is currently in serious need of rehabilitation.
Bill Clinton Drive, the spur road directly linking the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport Road with the Umaru Musa Yar’Adua Expressway is a major national and international gateway to both the city and the country.
The scope of work includes removal of existing bitumen and pavements as well as carrying out asphalting, resurfacing shoulder dressing and provision of surface water drainage among others.
The Bill Clinton Drive rehabilitation project is coming on the heels of the conclusion of works on the Bill Clinton Interchange and bridge last year.
