Lagos Authorities Reopen Ogudu-Ifako Bridge Following Completion of Repairs

The Lagos State Government has reinstated public access to the Ogudu-Ifako Bridge after concluding essential structural maintenance. The thoroughfare was temporarily closed to vehicular movement to facilitate comprehensive rehabilitation work on the critical transport link.

State officials confirmed the bridge has now been officially reopened for use by all motorists and pedestrians. The restoration of this route is anticipated to significantly alleviate the traffic congestion that had affected the area during the period of closure.

Commuters and residents in the Ogudu and Ifako regions have expressed relief at the development, having experienced extended journey times while alternative routes were in use. The state commissioner for transportation emphasised the administration’s commitment to maintaining vital infrastructure across the metropolis.

The bridge underwent substantial repairs to its foundational supports and road surface to ensure long-term durability and safety. Transportation authorities have advised drivers to continue observing all posted speed limits and traffic regulations while using the newly reopened structure.
