MANILA, Philippines—Motorists should expect heavy traffic Friday as the Iglesia ni Cristo (INC) is scheduled to host a bible exposition and outreach programs along Commonwealth Avenue in Quezon City.
Motorists were advised to take alternate routes as the stretch of Commonwealth Avenue connecting Sandiganbayan to Litex Road will be closed to vehicular traffic starting 12 a.m. Friday.
This is to give way for the construction of the stage and setting up of chairs for the activity, which will start at 2 p.m. until 6 p.m., said the Quezon City’s Department of Public Order and Safety (DPOS) department in an advisory Thursday.
The religious group’s “Lingap Pamamayahag” program will be centered on a bible exposition and distribution of goods to more than 100,000 participants.
The QC DPOS said vehicles going to Fairview should make a right turn at the IBP road and exit at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Litex Road.
“The counterflow lane for vehicles going to Fairview lane shall start at 6 a.m. from the U-turn slot fronting Meralco and exit at the U-turn slot fronting Don Fabian Street,” it added.
“Vehicles going to Quezon City Memorial Circle will take the outermost four lanes of Commonwealth from Don Fabian to the U-turn slot fronting Meralco.”
The QC local government also said it will deploy 300 traffic enforcers for the duration of the scheduled traffic rerouting.
The enforcers will embed 200 plastic jersey barriers and traffic cones to serve as guide for motorists.
