Kara Bridge Expansion Joint Repairs Begin September 8, FG Announces The Federal Government has announced that the replacement of damaged expansion joints on the Kara Berger Bridge section of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway will commence on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. The repair works are aimed at addressing the damaged expansion joints on the bridge and improving safety for motorists using the busy expressway. The Kara Berger section is a major transportation corridor connecting Lagos with Ogun State and other parts of the country, making maintenance works on the bridge critical to the smooth movement of people and goods.

The Federal Government is expected to implement measures to manage traffic during the rehabilitation exercise and minimise disruption to motorists. Motorists using the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway have therefore been advised to exercise caution around the affected section, obey traffic management instructions and allow additional travel time where necessary. The commencement of the repairs comes as authorities continue efforts to rehabilitate critical sections of the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and improve road infrastructure along the busy route. The government said the intervention is part of ongoing efforts to ensure safer and more reliable transportation infrastructure for Nigerians.
