A Daily Trust photojournalist who visited the scene confirmed the gridlock, which affected commuters travelling along the busy corridor.

Residents of Lagos are increasingly concerned about flooding during the rainy season, particularly in areas like Kunsela, Ologolo, and Gbagada. Recent incidents have prompted renewed inquiries into the reasons behind the persistent flooding in these regions, as it has become a common issue for many living in the city, according to Nairametrics.

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.
