MANILA, Philippines—The vicinity of the Post Office in Lawton, Manila, will be closed to traffic Tuesday evening until Wednesday to make way for the shooting of the Hollywood movie “Bourne Legacy,” a traffic advisory from the Manila Police District Traffic Enforcement Unit (MPDTEU) stated.

The advisory said that Riverside Drive, Muelle del Rio and Postal Road will be closed to traffic starting 9 p.m. Tuesday until 9 p.m. Wednesday.
