The Federal Ministry of Works has suspended indefinitely the planned rehabilitation of a section of the Kara Bridge along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
The repair work, which was scheduled to begin on July 28, 2026, was expected to last two weeks.
Announcing the suspension on Tuesday, the Acting Federal Controller of Works in Ogun State, Engr. R. Adeleye, said a new date for the project would be communicated later.
“I am very sorry to announce at this eleventh hour that we have put on hold the proposed Kara Bridge expansion joints repair scheduled to commence this morning, July 28, 2026, on directives from above due to some very crucial reasons.
“A rescheduled date shall be announced in due course,” Adeleye said.
Before the suspension, the Lagos State Commissioner for Transportation, Oluwaseun Osiyemi, had issued a traffic advisory informing motorists of the planned repair works, which were aimed at improving the safety and durability of the bridge.
