The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway remained blocked as of 7 a.m. on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, as motorists and commuters continued to face severe traffic congestion along the major highway.

The situation left movement along the busy route severely restricted, with the road still reported to be impassable at the time of filing the report.

A check by Vanguard on the social media platform X in the early hours of Wednesday showed that the traffic situation had yet to ease, leaving road users facing continued delays.

Motorists and commuters travelling along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway were advised to exercise caution while navigating the affected route.

They were also encouraged to consider alternative routes where possible to avoid getting caught in the prolonged gridlock.

The Lagos-Ibadan Expressway is a major route linking Lagos with Ogun and other parts of the country, making disruptions along the corridor capable of affecting a large number of commuters and commercial road users.

The continued blockage is expected to put further pressure on surrounding routes as motorists seek alternative ways to reach their destinations.
