Lagos authorities have urged motorists to plan ahead as repairs begin on damaged expansion joints at Kara Bridge on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The work, scheduled to start on Tuesday, is a Federal Ministry of Works intervention intended to restore the affected joints, Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation Oluwaseun Osiyemi said in a statement issued Monday.

Osiyemi said workers would close one half of the affected section at a time to limit the impact on traffic. Motorists will use the remaining open half interchangeably throughout the rehabilitation period.

The state government asked drivers to make appropriate arrangements before using the corridor, exercise patience and cooperate with traffic managers. It said motorists’ cooperation would help complete the work within the scheduled two-week period.

The state government advises motorists traversing the corridor to plan their journeys ahead.
