WHY IT MATTERS
The repair will restore safe and reliable traffic flow on a critical artery, reducing delays and preventing potential accidents caused by the damaged expansion joints.
What happened
The Federal Government announced that it will begin a two‑week repair of damaged expansion joints on the Kara Bridge, part of the Lagos‑Ibadan Expressway, on September 8. The work will involve replacing the compromised joints to restore structural integrity and improve safety on the busy corridor.
Traffic disruptions are expected during the repair period, with motorists advised to plan alternative routes.
