The governor noted that the Opebi-Ojota Link Bridge would ease pressure on existing roads and enhance traffic management efficiency. “Now we have a brand-new bridge that will provide a direct connection from Opebi-Allen straight onto Ikorodu Road through the Odoyalaro and Mende corridor, creating a viable alternative route,” he said. “It will reduce pressure on existing corridors such as Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Kudirat Abiola Road and the Maryland axis. The objective is straightforward: to improve traffic efficiency with noticeable impact even beyond the immediate environs.

Designed to provide alternative routes for motorists, the Opebi–Mende–Ojota Link Bridge connects densely populated and traffic-prone areas such as Toyin, Allen Avenue and Opebi to Ojota, Maryland and other parts of Ikeja. The corridor is expected to significantly reduce travel time, ease pressure on existing road networks and improve overall traffic flow across the Lagos metropolis. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including state governors, the Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, as well as federal and state lawmakers.
