MANILA, Philippines — Motorists who will be affected by the road reblocking operations in three different roads inside the National Capital Region have been urged to take alternate routes, in anticipation of heavy traffic flow.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said in its social media posts on Friday night that three particular segments would be repaired by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) from 11:00 p.m. of Friday up to 5:00 a.m. of Monday:
- C-5 service roads in Pasig City – along Pasig Boulevard, Barangay Bagong Ilog near Rizal Medical Center; and along Julia Vargas Avenue corner Lanuza Avenue, Barangay Ugong near Valle Verde 5
- Cloverleaf (Chainage 000-Chainage 234) going to North Luzon Expressway (NLEx)
- Edsa southbound (Balingasa Creek to Oliveros Footbridge) in Quezon City
“The DPWH will undertake reblocking and repairs, on the following roads starting 11pm tonight, January 27 until 5am of January 30. Motorists are advised to take alternate routes,” MMDA said.
MMDA suggested that southbound motorists who would be affected by the roadworks in Pasig City can make a left turn to Lakewood Drive then straight to E. Mejia Street, before returning to C-5. Northbound vehicles meanwhile can take the U-turn slot under the Bagong Ilog Flyover.
Those who might need to access the NLEx northbound side and are coming from Quezon Avenue can opt to use Sgt. Rivera Street in Quezon City before making a right turn at A. Bonifacio Avenue, which leads to the Balintawak Toll Plaza.
Those coming from Caloocan City meanwhile can access A. Bonifacio Avenue through the city’s 5th Avenue, which is accessible through Rizal Avenue. Other motorists can also opt to use the NLEx’ Harbor Link northbound exits at the C-3 road, which leads to the Smart Connect interchange in Valenzuela City.
