The Lagos state government has announced that it will commence repair works on a section of Ozumba Mbadiwe Road from Bonny Camp junction beginning Monday, September 15, 2025.
According to the Ministry of Transportation, the exercise will last for one week, ending on Sunday, September 21, 2025. Work will be carried out at night between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily to reduce the impact on traffic flow.
Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, who signed the advisory on Sunday, said the night schedule was deliberately chosen to minimize disruption for motorists and businesses that rely on the busy corridor during the day.
He appealed to road users to exercise patience while the works are ongoing.
“Ozumba Mbadiwe Road is a critical artery linking Victoria Island with other parts of Lagos. The rehabilitation is part of our continuous efforts to maintain the state’s road infrastructure. We urge motorists to cooperate with traffic officers and show understanding during this short period,” Osiyemi said.
The road, which connects commuters from the Lekki axis into Victoria Island and Ikoyi, is often plagued with heavy traffic during peak hours.
Past repairs on the corridor have typically caused congestion, prompting the government to opt for night-time intervention.
With the planned works, authorities said they are confident the road will be more motorable and safer for all categories of vehicles.
