Lagos resumes strict BRT lane enforcement on Eko, Odo Iya Alaro bridges

Published

on

Lagos State Government has announced that strict enforcement of Bus Rapid Transit, BRT, lanes will resume on Eko Bridge and Odo Iya Alaro Link Bridge effective Monday, October 6, 2025.

The exercise, which had been temporarily suspended on July 2, was put on hold to ease traffic congestion during rehabilitation works on the Ogudu–Ifako Bridge.

The bridge, a strategic connector between Ogudu and Ifako, underwent structural repairs on its expansion joints, leading to partial closures and prolonged traffic delays into Lagos Mainland.

In a statement on Wednesday, Tobi Idowu, Special Assistant to the Governor on Transport Education and Enforcement, explained that the enforcement aligns with the government’s broader traffic management strategy.

“Motorists are strongly advised to comply with this directive, as relevant agencies will strictly monitor and enforce adherence to the dedicated BRT corridors,” Idowu stated.

Officials had earlier described the suspension as a “transitional and conditional” measure aimed at reducing commuter stress during the repair period.

Also confirming the development on X (formerly Twitter), Jubril Gawat, Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on New Media, wrote:

“Now that the Ogudu Bridge repairs have been fully completed and reopened, enforcement of BRT lanes on both Eko Bridge and Odo Iya Alaro will resume on Monday, October 6, 2025.”

Ekwutosblog reports that Ogudu–Ifako Bridge, which was reopened on Tuesday, was delivered in 78 days, well ahead of the 101-day timeline originally scheduled for the project.
