The Ogun State Government has deployed officers of the Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Agency (TRACE) to strengthen traffic coordination following traffic challenges currently affecting movement around Kara Bridge and adjoining sections of the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway.
The bridge is strategically important to residents, workers, businesses, and travellers who use the route.
In a statement, Governor Dapo Abiodun said TRACE personnel are working with relevant security, emergency, and traffic management agencies to clear obstructions, prevent further gridlock, and improve movement along the affected axis.
"We urge motorists to approach the area with caution, avoid driving against traffic and refrain from creating additional lanes, as these actions often worsen congestion and delay emergency operations. Commercial drivers and articulated vehicle operators are particularly advised to exercise restraint and comply with all traffic directions," he said.
According to the governor, his administration's immediate priority is to protect lives, maintain order, and reduce the inconvenience commuters are experiencing.
"We will continue to monitor the situation and deploy the necessary personnel and resources until normal traffic flow is restored.
"We appreciate the patience and cooperation of all road users," he said.
