The Lagos State Government has announced a three-week partial closure of Oke-Afa Bridge in Isolo Local Government Area for rehabilitation works, beginning Friday, August 28, 2026.

The Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, announced the traffic diversion plan on Monday, saying the rehabilitation would be carried out in two phases and is expected to end on Friday, September 18.

According to Osiyemi, the first phase will cover the outbound Isolo-to-Ejigbo section of the bridge from August 28 to September 11, while the second phase will focus on the inbound Ejigbo-to-Isolo section from September 12 to September 18.

He said the bridge would be temporarily closed to vehicular movement during the rehabilitation, with motorists required to use designated diversions.

During the first phase, motorists travelling from Isolo towards Ejigbo will be diverted onto the Isolo-bound carriageway from Pako Roundabout, where traffic will operate in both directions before rejoining the main carriageway at Mobil Filling Station.

Motorists coming from Ejigbo will maintain movement along the shared carriageway from Mobil Filling Station to Pako Roundabout before regaining full access to the road.

For the second phase, motorists travelling from Ejigbo towards Isolo will be diverted onto the Ejigbo-bound carriageway from Mobil Filling Station, with traffic moving in both directions before rejoining the main carriageway at Pako Roundabout.

Motorists coming from Isolo will maintain free movement while sharing the carriageway with Isolo-bound traffic between Pako Roundabout and Mobil Filling Station, after which they will regain full access to the road.

The Commissioner said the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority would deploy personnel to the area to coordinate traffic and minimise delays throughout the rehabilitation period.

He added that an emergency tow vehicle would also be stationed within the axis to provide prompt recovery services for vehicles that break down.

Osiyemi urged motorists to exercise patience, explaining that the partial closure was part of the traffic management plan for the rehabilitation of Oke-Afa Bridge being undertaken by the Federal Ministry of Works through the Office of the Federal Controller, Lagos.
