Motorists in Lagos and Ogun State found themselves stranded for several hours on Wednesday, following repairs to the Kara Bridge that caused heavy gridlock on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway. The Federal Government had initiated the replacement of damaged expansion joints on the bridge on Tuesday, after a brief suspension to manage traffic flow.
The congestion stretched from the Kara Bridge in Ogun State to the 7Up Junction in Lagos State, ultimately affecting motorists coming from Ikeja, Agege, and heading towards the Otedola underpass. By Wednesday morning, the situation persisted, with one-way traffic routes implemented to help drivers reach their destinations.
Traffic and security officials were deployed to manage the chaos, but the repair works at entry and exit points further compounded the issue. Babatunde Akinbiyi, a spokesperson for the Ogun State Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency, urged motorists to exercise patience and cooperation during the repair period. He clarified that the necessary repairs were essential to ensure smooth movement and safety along the corridor.
Akinbiyi advised those without urgent business to avoid the area and urged those unable to avoid the route to cooperate with traffic officials.
