Lagos Announces Three-Week Closure Of Oke-Afa Bridge For Rehabilitation

Lagos Announces Three-Week Closure of Oke-Afa Bridge for Rehabilitation The Lagos State Government has announced the temporary closure of Oke-Afa Bridge in the Isolo area of the state to allow for rehabilitation works on the bridge. The closure is scheduled to begin on Friday, August 28, 2026, and will last for three weeks, with the bridge expected to remain closed until September 18, 2026.

The government said the rehabilitation is necessary to improve the condition of the bridge and ensure safer movement for motorists and other road users. The temporary closure is expected to affect traffic movement around the Oke-Afa and Isolo areas, with motorists likely to experience delays as traffic is diverted to alternative routes. Authorities are expected to deploy traffic management measures to reduce congestion and guide motorists through the diversion routes during the rehabilitation period. Motorists and commuters using the bridge have been advised to plan their journeys ahead of time and allow additional travel time while the repair works are ongoing. The state government is expected to reopen the bridge after the rehabilitation works are completed, subject to the progress of the project. The closure forms part of ongoing efforts by the Lagos State Government to maintain and rehabilitate critical road infrastructure across the state. Further updates on the rehabilitation and traffic arrangements are expected from the authorities as work progresses.
