Commuters were left stranded on Tuesday morning after severe traffic congestion crippled movement along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway and the Sagamu-Benin highway.
The disruption was linked to a partial closure at the Sagamu Interchange, where construction work is currently ongoing. The development led to long queues of vehicles, forcing some motorists and passengers to abandon their vehicles and continue their journeys on foot.
A motorist, who identified himself simply as Ade, said the traffic stretch extended from the Sagamu Interchange to the Ogere Remo axis near Animal Care. Observations showed that the congestion also backed up towards the Sagamu Junction end of the Sagamu-Ijebu Ode-Benin Expressway.
Another commuter, Mr Kola Tijani, who was travelling to Ibadan, said he had to turn back at the interchange and take an alternative route through Siun after finding the road blocked.
He expressed frustration over the situation, stating that the ongoing road reconstruction had caused avoidable hardship for road users. He urged the construction company handling the project to review its operations to minimise disruption and ease the burden on motorists.
