MANILA, Philippines — The Manila Police District (MPD) announced on Thursday that part of Quezon Boulevard would be closed in the afternoon of Good Friday to make way for Quiapo Church’s procession of Santo Entierro and Mater Dolorosa.
In an advisory on Maundy Thursday, MPD said the North bound lane of Quezon Boulevard, from Quezon Bridge to G. Puyat Street will be closed to motorists from 4 p.m. onwards on Friday.
With this, all vehicles traveling northbound of P. Burgos Avenue and Taft Avenue may go straight to MacArthur and Jones Bridge to their destination.
