The Metro Manila Development Authority on Friday said two sections of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue and Circumferential Road 5 (C-5 Road) will undergo road repair and maintenance this weekend.
The road works, which will begin 11 pm Friday (Feb.15) until 5 am Monday (Feb. 18), will be made after the MMDA gave the Department of Public Works and Highways – National Capital Region the go signal to resume its weekend road reblocking and repair.
DPWH Metro Manila Director Ador Canlas said the road reblocking will cover portions at the southbound direction of EDSA from Lagarian Creek to Ermin Garcia, and at the northbound direction from corner Congressional Avenue Extension.
In C-5 Road, repair works will be implemented at the southbound directions fronting SM Aura; and after Lanuza Avenue to Bagong Ilog Flyover.
The northbound directions of Ramon Magsaysay Boulevard from Ramon Magsaysay Bridge to Pureza Street; and Fairview Avenue from Atherton to Regalado Avenue North will also undergo rehabilitation.
Motorists are advised to take possible alternate routes due to traffic slowdowns in affected areas.
In 2017, the government imposed a policy prohibiting diggings and other road works at daytime.
The ban of road works at daytime came following the MMDA meeting with officials of the departments of Transportation, and Public Works and Highways to further improve the flow of traffic in the National Capital Region.
The government also required contractors to use quick dry cement on the road works to be able to meet the one-day curing period.
