The Lagos State Government has announced that rehabilitation works will commence on a section of Ozumba Mbadiwe Road, from the Bonny Camp junction, beginning Monday, September 15, 2025.
According to the Ministry of Transportation, the project will run for one week, ending on Sunday, September 21, 2025. To minimize traffic disruptions along the busy corridor, the works will be executed exclusively at night, between 9:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. daily.
In a statement on Sunday, the Commissioner for Transportation, Mr. Oluwaseun Osiyemi, said the overnight schedule was designed to reduce inconvenience for motorists and businesses that rely heavily on the road during daytime hours.
“Ozumba Mbadiwe Road is a critical artery linking Victoria Island with other parts of Lagos. This rehabilitation is part of our continuous efforts to maintain and improve the state’s road infrastructure. We appeal to motorists to cooperate with traffic officers and show understanding during this short exercise,” Osiyemi stated.
He assured that the intervention, once completed, will provide smoother and safer passage for vehicles while easing pressure on one of the state’s most congested routes.
Ozumba Mbadiwe Road remains a vital link for commuters coming from the Lekki axis into Victoria Island and Ikoyi. The route is notorious for heavy traffic during rush hours, and previous repair exercises have triggered gridlocks. The government, however, expressed optimism that the night-time approach will help balance rehabilitation needs with the demand for mobility.
