The bridge, which had been temporarily closed for maintenance, is a key route connecting major business districts and residential areas in Lagos. Its closure earlier in the day led to unprecedented gridlock, causing disruptions to commuters, businesses, and essential services.

Following public outcry and reports of worsening traffic conditions, Minister Umahi issued a directive for the immediate reopening of the bridge to restore normal traffic flow. The decision is expected to provide much-needed relief to motorists and residents who were stranded for hours.

Authorities have also urged motorists to cooperate with traffic management officials as efforts continue to address Lagos’ congestion challenges.
