The project will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will impact the outbound Isolo-to-Ejigbo lane from August 28 to September 11, while the second phase will affect the inbound Ejigbo-to-Isolo section from September 12 to September 18.
Transport Commissioner Oluwaseun Osiyemi outlined the traffic management plan, stating, “Oke-Afa Bridge will be temporarily closed to vehicular movement, and motorists are advised to use alternative routes.”
During the initial phase, motorists heading from Isolo to Ejigbo will be redirected onto the Isolo-bound carriageway at Pako Roundabout, allowing traffic to flow in both directions before rejoining the main road at Mobil Filling Station.
Conversely, vehicles coming from Ejigbo will maintain free movement and share the carriageway with Isolo-bound traffic from Mobil Filling Station to Pako Roundabout, regaining full access afterward.
For the second phase, traffic from Ejigbo to Isolo will be diverted onto the Ejigbo-bound carriageway at Mobil Filling Station, again allowing for two-way movement until rejoining the main carriageway.
To manage the anticipated congestion, the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) will be deployed to the area. An emergency tow vehicle will also be stationed nearby to assist with breakdowns.
The state government is urging motorists to cooperate with traffic officials and exercise patience during this period. “This partial road closure is part of the traffic management plan for the Oke-Afa Bridge rehabilitation,” the statement emphasized.
Motorists are encouraged to plan their journeys accordingly and remain alert to potential delays as the rehabilitation work progresses. The government aims to minimize disruptions while ensuring the bridge's safety and longevity for future use.
