The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway blockage persisted on Wednesday morning, September 16, 2026, as traffic congestion continued along the busy highway.
As of 7 a.m., the expressway remained impassable, according to a check by Vanguard on the social media platform X.
The situation has left motorists and commuters facing significant delays while efforts continue to manage the congestion along the major Lagos-Ogun corridor.
The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway blockage was still in place at the time of filing the report.
The development has raised concerns for travellers relying on the highway for movement between Lagos and other parts of the South-West.
The route is one of Nigeria’s major inter-state corridors and regularly carries heavy volumes of passenger and commercial traffic.
Recent reports have linked the worsening gridlock to ongoing repair works around the Kara Bridge, with a multiple-vehicle crash also reported to have compounded traffic conditions on Tuesday.
Motorists and commuters using the route have been advised to exercise caution while travelling.
Those with the option are also encouraged to consider alternative routes where possible to avoid further delays.
The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway blockage comes amid continuing efforts to manage traffic around sections affected by repair works and incidents on the highway.
Motorists are advised to remain alert and follow traffic management instructions as authorities work to ease the congestion.
