QC intersection to be partially closed to traffic

Motorists should avoid the Quezon Avenue–G. Araneta Avenue intersection in Quezon City for the next few weeks if they want to avoid getting caught in heavy traffic.

Starting Wednesday, the busy intersection will partially be closed to vehicles in preparation for the construction of an underpass in the area.

The 440-meter-long, four-lane underpass is part of the C-3/Quezon Avenue Interchange Project and is expected to improve traffic flow in the area.

Alternate routes

The Quezon City government, the Department of Public Works and Highways and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority, meanwhile, advised motorists passing through the area to take alternate routes with the intersection’s closure starting this week.

The agencies concerned, however, did not give a target date for the completion of the project.

Those who will be affected by the rerouting are motorists bound for Quiapo, Manila, coming from Edsa in Quezon City.

Also affected are motorists coming from España Boulevard in Manila and passing through Quezon Avenue on their way to Edsa and those who pass through G. Araneta Avenue on their way either to Sta. Mesa in Manila or Quezon City.
