Motorists who will pass by the North Luzon Expressway and Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (NLEX-SCTEX) should expect slow-moving traffic in the coming days as some lanes in these two expressways are scheduled to be closed for at least two days to a week.

In an advisory on Saturday, NLEX Corporation said that some parts of NLEX and SCTEX would be closed to any types of vehicles in order to give way to maintenance works and bridging retrofitting.

The move aims to maintain the good condition of the expressway and ensure the safety of the public passing by the expressways, the advisory said.

The management also asked the public for patience and understanding as the flow of traffic will be affected due to road works.
