MANILA, Philippines — Motorists plying parts of Mindanao Ave. between Congressional Ave. and Tandang Sora Ave should brace for heavier traffic since portions of the thoroughfare will be closed starting June 29, Saturday.

The Department of Transportation (DOTr) on Tuesday said this was to make way for the construction of the Tandang Sora station of the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP).
