Traffic disruptions have hit the Kara Bridge due to a recent accident, prompting diversions for motorists.
A road traffic accident at the Ward OPIC section of the Kara Bridge has led to significant traffic diversions. Motorists from Ketu, Ojota, and the Third Mainland Bridge are advised to take alternative routes to reach Mowe.
Accident Causes Major Traffic Diversions
The accident at the Kara Bridge has resulted in traffic being diverted inward Mowe. Motorists are encouraged to use the Otefola/Jubilee Estate route to Isheri-Magodo Junction, then proceed towards New Garage for a U-turn under the bridge.
Another option for motorists is to drive towards Kara Bridge and divert at AP Filling Station to join the contraflow traffic towards OPIC turning. This will allow them to reconnect with their rightful lane.
Navigating the Traffic Situation
Articulated vehicles are advised to proceed directly to AP Filling Station, make a U-turn under Kara Bridge, and join the contraflow lane towards OPIC turning. This guidance aims to streamline traffic flow and minimize delays.
Traffic officials, including LASTMA personnel, are actively managing the situation on-site. They have been overseeing the recovery operations and ensuring that the affected vehicles are safely removed from the roadway.
Next Steps for Traffic Management
- The contractor will remove the jersey barrier to create one lane for traffic inward Mowe.
- Traffic officials will continue to monitor the corridor for smooth movement.
- LASTMA officials will ensure no further obstruction occurs.
Traffic management efforts are underway to alleviate congestion at Kara Bridge.
