MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Public Works and Highways’ office in the National Capital Region will conduct road re-blocking activities from 10 p.m. Friday (Nov. 28) to 5 a.m. Monday (Dec. 1) on the following major thoroughfares in Quezon City:
* Fairview Avenue from Camaro Street to Marlboro Street (third lane, southbound);
* Mindanao Avenue from Road 8 to North Avenue (first lane, southbound);
* Araneta Avenue from Calamba Street to Quezon Avenue (first lane, southbound);
* Carlos P. Garcia Avenue from D. Castañeda Street to Velasquez Street (third lane, northbound);
* Quirino Highway from Camachile Street to Teachers’ Bliss (second lane, northbound);

Earlier, the Metro Manila Development Authority announced that road works would not be allowed in the three weeks before Christmas in anticipation of a traffic buildup as people flock to malls and other shopping centers in the metropolis.
DPWH insiders, however, expressed confidence the agency would “still be allowed to do more road re-blocking activities next week.”
The MMDA plans to designate alternate routes pending clarification from the DPWH on the completion of several NCR road projects.
