Lagos Announces 90-Day Traffic Diversion on Odo Iya Alaro Bridge
The Lagos State Government will implement a 90-day traffic diversion on the Odo Iya Alaro Bridge starting July 22, 2024, due to deteriorating road conditions.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced that the diversion will occur in two phases, affecting the Ojota bound lane and the Yaba/Ojuelegba/Maryland bound lane.
Phase One:
– Motorists to Ojota from Maryland/Yaba will use a counter flow lane inbound Maryland.
– Alternative routes include Alapere/Ogudu axis to Gbagada/Anthony Oke Bridge for those from Berger, Magodo, and Tollgate.
Phase Two:
– Motorists to Maryland/Yaba from Ojota will use a counter flow lane inbound Ojota.
– Similar alternative routes will apply as in Phase One.
Additional alternative routes from Ikeja, Oregun, Kudirat Abiola Way, and Jibowu are provided to ease traffic during the diversion. Traffic management personnel will ensure smooth flow during the repairs.
It has been reported that the Nigerian Air Force has spotted some terrorist hideouts in Borno State.
The force was able to take out some of the facilities used as hideouts and disarmed some of the fighters.
The Director of Public Relations for the Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, shared that they are beginning to catch up with and evoke fear among the terrorists.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
