THE Department of Public Works and Highways vowed to complete the repair of the more than 800 meter road portion of Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City within 24 hours by using fast-drying concrete cement and avoid traffic.
DPWH-NCR Director Melvin Navarro said they will utilize the fast-drying concrete to expedite completion of a road rehabilitation project in Quezon City this weekend.
“The one-day curing concrete mix will be used to undertake repair at the southbound section of Mindanao Avenue, before Mindanao tunnel. The area is prone to heavy traffic during rush hours,” he said.
Navarro said instead of the usual reblocking that starts from Friday until Monday, the affected area will only be closed from Saturday, October 8, and will be opened the following day, or Sunday, October 9.
Motorists are advised to take Balintawak/Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (Edsa) as an alternative route.
Meanwhile, the DPWH will resume the road rehabilitation of United Nations Avenue in Ermita, Manila on a round-the-clock basis to ensure faster completion.
Navarro said a 24/7 work scheme for the 840-lineal meter section of UN Avenue, stretching from Taft to Estero de Paco Bridge, will start on Monday, October 10, 2016 and complete the project as soon as possible.
