Lagos State Govt. Begins 2nd Phase Repair Works

The Lagos State Government has announced the resumption of the second phase of repair works on the Ogudu–Ifako Bridge (inbound Lagos Island) which is scheduled to commence on Wednesday September 3rd 2025.

This was disclosed Tuesday in a statement  signed by the Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi; who said the traffic advisory issued by the ministry has provided alternative routes for inbound motorists.

Vehicles heading to Oshodi from the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway or Toll Gate can make use of the Ojota Slip Road to connect Ikorodu Road (inward Anthony, by Taxi Park).

Motorists going to Victoria Island may link through Ojota Slip Road to Ikorodu Road (inward Anthony, by Town Planning Way) to  link Gbagada, to access the Third Mainland Bridge inbound Lagos Island.

Drivers from Ikeja and its environs can proceed via Maryland to Ikorodu Road/Funsho Williams Avenue, to make use of the Eko Bridge to Outer Marina.

The commissioner explained that the repair works followed a review of the traffic management plan to ease the congestion experienced during the first phase of the project.

Osiyemi appealed to motorists to cooperate with the Traffic Management Officers to maintain lane discipline while making use of the provided alternative routes.

The Commissioner for Transportation emphasised that the partial closure of the bridge had become necessary as part of the maintenance programme.

Osiyemi urged motorists to plan their journeys accordingly as well cooperate with officers on the ground to minimise delays during the repair works.
