The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Kaduna State has directed a temporary road diversion on the Kaduna–Zaria segment of the A2 Highway. The directive is to allow for ongoing railway construction work along the route. Sector Commander Andrew Longkam disclosed the measure in a statement issued Thursday in Kaduna. The diversion will take effect on April 4, affecting vehicular movement on the highway. Motorists travelling between Kaduna and Zaria are advised to follow alternative routes during the period. Specific rerouting details were not included in the statement. The FRSC urged drivers to comply with traffic instructions from officers on ground. No timeline beyond the April 4 date was provided for the duration of the diversion. The railway project is part of the broader Abuja–Kaduna–Kano rail line expansion. No incidents or accidents were cited as prompting the action.
Andrew Longkam announced a road diversion on April 4 but did not state how long it would last, leaving commuters in uncertainty. The lack of a clear end date affects daily travellers and transporters who rely on the Kaduna–Zaria axis for business and movement. Those using the highway must now adjust schedules without official guidance on when normalcy will return. The railway project may be advancing, but the public is navigating in the dark.
