The Olodo bridge in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo state, collapsed due to heavy rains on Sunday, leading to flooding and leaving thousands of passengers stranded. The bridge connects Ibadan to the town of Iwo and Osun West Senatorial District in Osun state. As a result, there has been a significant disruption in travel from the Iwo Road Axis to other parts of Ibadan, Oyo, and Osun states, leaving numerous people unable to reach their destinations.
Traffic officials are currently working on redirecting the traffic to alternative routes, but it may take days or even weeks before the bridge is repaired. The governments of Oyo and Osun states had previously signed an agreement for the reconstruction and expansion of the road in 2022, aiming to improve travel and commerce between different parts of both states. The project is currently underway, focusing on enhancing this specific stretch of the road.
