The Lagos State Government has advised motorists to plan their journeys ahead of time as repair works commence on damaged expansion joints at Kara Bridge. According to Vanguard News, the government issued the warning to help road users anticipate possible traffic disruptions along the busy corridor while the repairs are carried out. Authorities did not specify how long the repair works are expected to last.

Lagos State authorities have alerted motorists to the closure of a popular bridge in the city for rehabilitation works, urging residents to plan their movements accordingly. According to PM News, the government also appealed to motorists to exercise patience and cooperate with traffic managers and other officials deployed to the area throughout the repair period. The advisory aims to ease congestion and ensure safety while the rehabilitation is ongoing, though the duration of the closure was not specified in the report.

Motorists on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway are advised to expect temporary traffic diversions as the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) begins the installation of safety warning gantries on bridges along the highway. This diversion is part of ongoing infrastructure improvement efforts in the area, as announced by the Ogun State Sector Command.

Motorists in Nigeria's southeast are complaining about the poor condition of the Onitsha-Owerri Road, which they have been forced to use following a two-week closure of the Niger Bridge. According to Punch, the diversion has caused hardship for commuters and significantly increased travel times, with travellers decrying the deplorable state of the alternative route while the bridge remains shut for the announced period.

Nigeria's Federal Government will commence repair works on the Kara Bridge on Tuesday, according to Channels Television. The project, initially scheduled to begin in August 2026, was suspended to allow for a traffic review. The delay followed public outcry over the short notice given to road users and the need for effective traffic management during the repairs. Authorities have now finalised plans to proceed with the works.

The Federal Ministry of Works has fully closed the First Niger Bridge in Onitsha, Anambra State, for emergency maintenance and rehabilitation, beginning Monday, September 7, 2026. According to the ministry, the work is expected to last until September 21 and was deemed necessary due to the deteriorated condition of the bridge's structure.
