MANILA — Motorists should brace for heavy traffic this weekend, as the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will undertake road reblocking and repairs in Quezon and Caloocan cities.

In a statement, DPWH National Capital Region Director Melvin Navarro said the road works will be carried out from 11 p.m. on Friday (January 26) until 5 a.m. on Monday (January 29).

In Quezon City, the northbound direction of the following roads would be affected for road reblocking and construction activities: Visayas Avenue in front of Jollibee, outer lane; EDSA between Howmart to Oliveros, fifth lane; Congressional Avenue Extension near Tierra Pura Subdivision, third lane; Congressional Avenue between EDSA to Cagayan Street, first lane; and Quirino Highway near Sacred Heart of Jesus, outer lane.

Also included in the repair schedule is the middle and inner lanes of A. Bonifacio Avenue southbound between Dr.

Alejo Street to Calavite Street.

The DPWH official added that the Bonifacio Monumento Circle in Caloocan City will undergo repair works with General Tinio and B. Serrano Road as alternate route.

Navarro added that they will be using one day concrete mix so that the affected road lanes will be fully passable by next week.

Motorists are advised to use alternate routes since traffic is expected to slowdown in the affected areas. (PNA)
