The Lagos State Government has announced an upcoming 3-week rehabilitation project on Oke-Afa Bridge in Isolo LGA, set to commence on Friday, 28th August, 2026, through Friday, 18th September, 2026.
The project, which is to be carried out by Federal Ministry of Works (Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos) through Messrs. Strabic Construction Limited, would result in the Oke-Afa Bridge will being temporarily closed to vehicular movement.
In the statement signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, on the 24th August, it was disclosed that the works will be carried out in two phases. The first phase will cover the outbound Isolo-to-Ejigbo axis of the bridge, while the second phase will cover the bridge inbound Isolo from Ejigbo.
The first phase is to last from Friday, 28th August, 2026, to Friday, 11th September, 2026, and the second, from Saturday, 12th September, 2026, to Friday, 18th September, 2026.As a result, motorists were advised to utilize alternatives prescribed by the Ministry.
Upon the commencement of the first phase, motorists heading toward Ejigbo from Isolo are to be diverted onto the Isolo-bound carriageway from Pako Roundabout, as traffic will move in both directions, before rejoining the main carriageway to continue their journeys at Mobil Filling Station.The statement also prescribed other alternatives for both phases.
“Motorists coming from Ejigbo will maintain free movement and share the carriageway with Ejigbo-bound traffic from Mobil Filling Station to Pako Roundabout, after which they will regain full access to the road to reach their destinations.
“During Phase Two rehabilitation, motorists from Ejigbo heading toward Isolo will be diverted onto the Ejigbo-bound carriageway from Mobil Filling Station, where traffic will move in both directions, before rejoining the main carriageway to continue their journeys at Pako Roundabout,” it stated.
It added that motorists coming from Isolo will maintain free movement and share the carriageway with Isolo-bound traffic from Pako Roundabout to Mobil Filling Station. They will regain full access to the road to reach their destinations afterwards.
It was disclosed that the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority will be on scene to ensure coordinated movement and minimize inconveniences, while an emergency tow vehicle will be positioned in close range to the axis to provide quick recovery operations for breakdowns throughout the project period.
Motorists were also advised to be patient, in consideration of the fact that the partial road closure forms part of the traffic management plan for the rehabilitation works on Oke-Afa Bridge, Isolo LGA.
