Motorists and commuters faced significant delays on the Benin-Lagos Expressway on Sunday evening, remaining stranded for over three hours. The congestion stemmed from the poor condition of the Ovia River Bridge and additional traffic issues. The resulting gridlock extended from the Ovia Bridge all the way to Okada Junction in Edo State, severely impacting travel times. A normally straightforward journey was dramatically lengthened by the extensive traffic buildup. Authorities have yet to comment on immediate repair plans for the Ovia River Bridge. The incident highlights the urgent need for infrastructure maintenance on the Benin-Lagos Expressway. Vanguard News first reported the disruption.
