Skyway to close section to traffic Jan. 31-Feb. 1

Skyway System operator, Skyway O&M Corp. (Somco), will close the entire stretch of the elevated section of the Skyway System from Buendia to Alabang, both northbound and southbound directions, from 8 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, until 8 a.m. on Sunday, Feb. 1, to give way to a marathon event for the benefit of the Hero Foundation Inc. (Hero) in partnership with Condura. Hero is a nongovernment organization that provides educational aid to children and dependent siblings of soldiers killed in action or were totally incapacitated while in the line of duty. Somco appeals for the understanding and cooperation of motorists for the inconvenience the closure may cause, but assures them of the continuous safe and smooth flow of vehicular traffic along the tollway in coordination with, among others, the Highway Patrol Group and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority. For assistance, or to report road incidents, motorists may call the Skyway hotline at 776777 or the Skyway Command Center at 0917-5398762.
