Honestly, this lagos bridge closure traffic diversion is gonna be a real headache for businesses. Every time there's a bridge closure like this, I always notice drivers ranting about wasting hours in traffic, and you can feel the delivery vibes totally off. For 110 days, with only one lane open per section and everyone using alternative routes, there's just gonna be more congestion. That means longer routes, more fuel, and drivers stuck in jams—which pretty much equals higher transport costs. I remember last time they closed a big road by my uncle’s shop, his deliveries took twice as long and they even lost a couple of customers who couldn’t wait.
So if you’ve got a business that depends on quick supplies—like supermarket deliveries or even food vendors—costs are gonna shoot up for a while. Even small businesses will feel it, because people might just avoid the area altogether. I’d say businesses should plan ahead, maybe even talk to their suppliers about earlier deliveries or pooling trips to cut costs. The government says LASTMA will help manage traffic, but honestly, when there’s a big closure, patience and some serious planning are the only things that work.
Stay flexible if you can. This bridge work will end eventually, but there’s gonna be lots of stress till then!
