  "account": "The Lagos State Government has announced a three-week rehabilitation plan for the Oke-Afa Bridge in Isolo, starting on Friday, August 28, 2026. The Ministry of Transportation revealed the details on Monday, August 24, 2026. The bridge will undergo rehabilitation until Friday, September 18, with traffic being redirected in stages as work progresses on each side of the bridge.\n\nThe rehabilitation will be conducted in two phases. The first phase, from Friday, August 28 to Friday, September 11, will cover the outbound Isolo-to-Ejigbo axis. The second phase, from Saturday, September 12, to Friday, September 18, will focus on the inbound Ejigbo-to-Isolo axis. The project is being managed by the Federal Ministry of Works, under the Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos, with construction being carried out by Messrs. Strabic Construction Limited.\n\nDuring the rehabilitation, the bridge will be temporarily closed to vehicular movement, and motorists will need to use designated diversion routes. In the first phase, those traveling from Isolo towards Ejigbo will be directed onto the Isolo-bound carriageway from Pako Roundabout, with traffic moving in both directions along the carriageway before rejoining the main route at the Mobil Filling Station.\n\nThe Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will oversee traffic management to minimize disruption during the rehabilitation. Furthermore, an emergency tow vehicle will be stationed on the bridge throughout the project to provide rapid recovery services for any vehicles that break down. The Oke-Afa Bridge rehabilitation is part of a broader drainage reconstruction initiative aimed at enhancing stormwater management and reducing flooding in the area. These actions are in line with the state government's strategy to manage traffic during road works, infrastructure projects, and major public activities that could affect regular vehicular movement.",
