Lagos govt opens rehabilitated Odo Iya Alaro Bridge
The Odo Iya Alaro Bridge in the Maryland region of the state was temporarily closed less than two months ago, but the Lagos State Government announced on Monday that it was reopened.
Oluwaseun Osiyemi, the state commissioner for transport, revealed this in a statement on Monday.
Osiyemi stated that the state Ministry of Works was in charge of carrying out the rehabilitation, and that it started on Monday, July 22, 2024.
According to the commissioner, the renovation will facilitate travel and traffic between the island and mainland.
The tweet read, “We are delighted to inform all road users that the rehabilitation of the Odo Iya Alaro Bridge, executed by the Ministry of Works, Lagos, has been completed ahead of schedule.
“The bridge will be reopened today, significantly earlier than the initial 90-day timeline, with the work accomplished in under two months.
“We deeply appreciate the patience and cooperation of Lagosians during this period. Your willingness to navigate alternative routes, despite the challenges, played a key role in ensuring the swift progress of this important project.
“This rehabilitation will enhance traffic flow and ease movement between the Mainland and the Island. We also extend our gratitude to the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) for their exceptional work in managing traffic during this time.”
