Positive Changes Ahead: Lagos State Announces 90-Day Traffic Diversion for Bridge Repairs
The Lagos State Government has announced a 90-day traffic diversion for motorists on the Odo Iya Alaro Bridge, set to begin on Monday, July 22, 2024. This proactive step will address the necessary repairs on the bridge’s asphalt pavement and expansion joints, ensuring safer and smoother travel in the future.
According to a statement issued on Thursday, July 18, 2024, by the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the diversion will be carried out in two phases, focusing on the Ojota bound lane and the Yaba/Ojuelegba/Maryland bound lane. This structured approach aims to minimize inconvenience while maximizing the efficiency of the repairs.
The statement detailed the traffic management plan for the first phase of repairs, where motorists heading to Ojota from Maryland/Yaba will be diverted into a counter flow on the lane inbound Maryland. Those heading to Yaba from Ojota will continue their journeys on the same lane. Alternative routes have been thoughtfully mapped out to ensure continuous traffic flow and accessibility during the repair period.
Motorists from Berger, Magodo, and Tollgate along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are advised to use the Alapere/Ogudu axis inward Gbagada/Anthony Oke Bridge to descend the ramp and access Ikorodu Road. This alternative route will help ease congestion and maintain traffic movement.
Additionally, those coming from Ikeja, Oregun, and Kudirat Abiola Way can utilize the Opebi Link Bridge to connect Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way inward Sheraton through Maryland to access Ikorodu Road. For motorists from Jibowu, the Ikorodu Road Service lane by Mobil Fuel Station/Bertola Engineering Equipment Company provides a route to the Gbagada/Ogudu axis.
In case of missed turns, motorists can use Theodolite to link Anthony Oke Ramp and join Ikorodu Road again, accessing Town Planning Way inward Gbagada/Ogudu/Alapere axis. Another option for those heading to Ikeja, Magodo, Berger, and Lagos-Ibadan Expressway from Jibowu is to navigate through Maryland, Mobolaji Bank Anthony, Sheraton/Opebi, Allen Avenue/Obafemi Awolowo Way, and Nurudeen Olowopopo Road.
During the second phase of the repairs, the traffic diversion plan will similarly redirect motorists inward Maryland/Yaba from Ojota into a counter flow on the lane inbound Ojota. The same alternative routes will be available for motorists from Berger, Magodo, and Toll Gate, ensuring consistent access to their destinations.
Commissioner Osiyemi assured the public that traffic management personnel would be on hand to maintain a steady traffic flow throughout the repair period. He appealed to the public for cooperation and understanding, emphasizing that these interventions are essential for the long-term benefit and safety of all road users.
This comprehensive and well-organized traffic diversion plan reflects the Lagos State Government’s commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring the safety and convenience of its residents and visitors.

The battle against wildfires in Los Angeles rages on, with evacuation orders remaining in place for vast areas threatened by flames. Officials are defending their response as fire crews work tirelessly to contain the blazes and cadaver dogs search for potential victims in the aftermath.
The Palisades Fire, the largest and most destructive of the current wildfires, has grown to over 22,000 acres, an increase of 1,000 acres overnight. Containment has risen slightly to 11%, but evacuation orders remain active for communities in Brentwood and Encino, where residents are reeling from the impact.
Josh Sautter, head of the Encino Neighborhood Council, described the panic caused by the evacuations: “People were completely freaked out as the orders swept through the community.”
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Los Angeles is now dealing with four active fires, a reduction from six earlier in the week. The contained Archer, Lidia, Sunset, Woodley, and Olivas fires no longer pose a threat.
Here are the latest updates on the remaining wildfires:
- Palisades Fire:
The first fire to ignite last Tuesday, it has scorched more than 22,000 acres, including areas of the Pacific Palisades. Officials warn it could become one of the most destructive fires in California’s history. Containment is at 11%. - Eaton Fire:
Burning in the northern parts of the city, including Altadena and areas near Pasadena, this fire covers nearly 14,000 acres and is now 15% contained, a significant improvement from 3% yesterday. Evacuations have expanded to include Hastings Ranch, Sierra Madre, and Arcadia. - Hurst Fire:
North of San Fernando, this fire has burned approximately 800 acres since it began Tuesday night. Containment has reached 76%. - Kenneth Fire:
Situated on the Los Angeles-Ventura County border, this fire has scorched over 1,050 acres. Authorities report it is now 80% contained, with no structural damage reported.
In addition to the expanded evacuation zones, search-and-rescue teams are working in areas previously devastated by flames to locate any victims. The use of cadaver dogs underscores the severity of the situation.
Efforts to control the fires are ongoing, with containment lines being reinforced to prevent further spread. Officials urge residents to remain vigilant and adhere to evacuation orders for their safety.
