Tuesday, September 8, 2026 -The Lagos State Government has advised motorists in the state to plan their movements as the Federal Government prepares to shut down the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway section of the Kara Bridge for repairs.
The Federal Ministry of Works, at the weekend, announced
the commencement of repair works on
the bridge.
This followed the reported damage to a section of the
popular and ever-busy bridge.
A statement issued on Monday by the Lagos State Commissioner
for Transportation, Mr Oluwaseun Osiyemi, urged residents heading to Ibadan on
Tuesday to consider an alternative route.
“We advise motorists traversing the corridor to plan their
journeys ahead,” the commissioner said.
According to him, to minimise the impact of the shutdown on
traffic, “one half of the affected section will be closed at a time, while
motorists share the other open half interchangeably.
“The government appeals to all motorists to exercise
patience and cooperate with traffic managers to ensure the rehabilitation is
completed in two weeks as scheduled.”
