Even though traffic situation on that axis has been touch and go from way back in time, it escalated due to the partial closure of part of the road due to reconstruction of the federal road.

Commuters on social media have lamented that one of the major causes of the gridlock is the abuse of traffic rules as some commuters move against the traffic.

Some road users revealed that the major road has been on lockdown through the night, while another noted that it might be as a result of an accident around Kara.
