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 Bola Ahmed Tinubu was absent at the commissioning of the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge, which took place on April 8, 2026.
However, Senate President Godswill Akpabio represented the President and carried out the ceremony.
As he commissioned the project, he stated “On behalf of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, I commission these projects.”
Residents of Lagos should prepare for traffic disruptions as several roads will be closed due to the visit of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is set to commission infrastructural projects.
The commissioning will take place on April 8 and 9, 2026.
Affected areas on Wednesday (April 8):
Opebi, Allen Avenue, Ikeja, Ojota, and Victoria Island.
Affected areas on Thursday (April 9):
Lekki-Epe Expressway, Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Ajegunle.
Motorists are advised to plan alternative routes and expect heavy traffic during these periods.
