The Lagos State Government wishes to inform the motoring public of partial road closures for the commissioning events of critical infrastructure projects on Wednesday, 8th April, 2026, and Thursday, 9th April, 2026.
These events require temporary road closures in specific areas to ensure the safety and smooth conduct of proceedings. Motorists are advised to plan their movement and avoid the affected corridors during the designated times to minimise traffic disruptions and travel delays.
On Wednesday, 8th April, 2026, the Opebi-Mende Link Bridge will be commissioned between 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. This event will affect motorists in the Opebi-Allen, Ikeja and Ojota areas. All motorists transiting this corridor during the specified hours should seek alternative routes to avoid congestion and ensure timely arrival at their destinations.
On Thursday, 9th April, 2026, two commissioning events are scheduled during the morning and afternoon hours, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. The first event is the commissioning of Tolu Schools Complex, which will affect traffic in the Olodi Apapa and Ajegunle areas. Motorists operating in these localities are strongly advised to plan alternative routes and allow additional time for their journeys during this period.
Later the same evening, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., another event will take place at Eko Hotel and Victoria Island. Motorists in the Victoria Island corridor are advised to avoid the area during these hours or to exercise caution and expect potential delays.
The Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) and designated traffic enforcement personnel will be positioned in all affected areas to manage traffic flow and provide assistance to motorists. The public is urged to cooperate fully with traffic management personnel and observe all instructions to facilitate the smooth movement of vehicles along the affected corridors. The Lagos State Government appreciates the cooperation, patience and understanding of all road users during these events.
