Lagos Announces Traffic Diversions for Road Reconstruction

The Lagos State Ministry of Transportation has issued traffic advisories ahead of planned road reconstruction along the Super-Ilepo axis of the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway and Oba Ogunji Road in the Berger area.

The statements, signed by the Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, were released on Sunday.

Reconstruction on the Lagos-Abeokuta Expressway will affect the main carriageway from Super Bus Stop to Ilepo Bus Stop between March 7 and May 30, 2026, and the section will be closed to traffic during this period.

Motorists are advised to use alternative routes:
From Abeokuta/Sango Tollgate heading to Lagos/Oshodi, traffic will be diverted into the BRT corridor at Super Bus Stop, exiting at Pleasure Bus Stop (Ilepo).

Another option is via Ekoro Road to Old Ota Road through Alira Street, connecting to Abeokuta Street and rejoining the main corridor at Pleasure Bus Stop.
Alternatively, drivers may use the Abule Egba Underbridge to reach Agege and onward destinations.

In a separate advisory, Osiyemi said the government has finalised plans to upgrade the nine-kilometre dual-carriage corridor between Ojodu Berger Bus Stop and Mobil Filling Station Junction. The road will be closed from March 6, 2026, to January 6, 2028, for reconstruction.

Alternative routes include:
Motorists from Ijaye/Agege via Ogunnusi Road (Ojodu-Berger) will move on a contraflow along the Ojodu-Berger-bound carriageway for about one kilometre before regaining the main road.

Drivers can also use Dr. Nurudeen Olowopopo Way to Otunba Jobifele Way, then Obafemi Awolowo Way, linking to Lateef Jakande Road to reach their destinations.

Articulated vehicles and trucks from the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway heading to Agege are advised to go through Ojota/Maryland to access Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Kodesoh Street, Oba Akran Avenue to Guinness Roundabout, Ogba Road to Pen Cinema, and continue onward.

Motorists travelling from Ijaye/Agege towards Ojodu-Berger will experience through traffic but will be diverted into a contraflow for approximately one kilometre near the construction zone before regaining full access to the main road.

The commissioner assured that measures will be in place to manage vehicle breakdowns and urged road users to cooperate with traffic management officials during the reconstruction period.
