Lagos: Opebi Link Bridge to open by September end – Sanwo-Olu

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has announced that the Opebi Link Bridge will be opened to motorists before the end of September 2026.

Sanwo-Olu made this known on Thursday while speaking as the keynote guest at the 7th Annual Lecture organised by Freedom Online Newspapers.

According to the governor, construction work on the bridge has reached the final stage, with workers currently undertaking finishing touches ahead of its opening.

He also disclosed that the state government was working to add an architectural feature to the bridge as part of efforts to enhance its appeal and potentially make it a tourist attraction.

“I want to assure you that the Opebi Link Bridge will be opened by the end of September. We are trying to install the ark on the bridge. We want to make it a tourist attraction,” he said.

The completion of the Opebi Link Bridge is expected to strengthen connectivity between Opebi and neighbouring areas while helping to ease traffic congestion along the corridor.

The project is also expected to improve movement for motorists and residents who rely on the route when it becomes operational.
