PROJECT · BRIDGE ENGINEERING
The Ojota–Opebi Link Bridges & Approach Roads
A dual carriageway and link bridges connecting Ojota to Opebi and Mende, twenty years after the route was first proposed.
CLIENT
Lagos State Government
LOCATION
Ojota – Opebi – Mende, Ikeja, Lagos
SCALE
Approx. 4.5 km dual carriageway with link bridges
STATUS
Construction from 2022; now open
One of the most congested junctions on the Lagos mainland, relieved by going over it.
The Ojota–Opebi link provides a direct dual-carriageway connection between Ojota and the Opebi–Mende area of Ikeja, with link bridges, pedestrian walkways and drainage. Construction was flagged off in January 2022 and the route has since opened to traffic.
The scheme had been proposed for roughly two decades before it was built. The hard part was never the structure — it was threading an alignment through land that had been developed while the plan sat on a shelf.
Our role
Structural design and appraisal
Design and appraisal of the link bridge structures and their approach embankments.
Approach road design
Geometric and pavement design for the dual carriageway approaches and tie-ins.
Drainage design
Carriageway and outfall drainage across a catchment with limited existing capacity.
Construction supervision
Site supervision, materials testing and certification through construction.
