MANILA, Philippines – Motorists passing along Quezon City roads are advised to take alternate routes on Monday, July 27, as some roads are set to be closed for President Benigno Aquino III’s State of the Nation Address.
Starting 3 am on Monday, the stretch of Commonwealth Avenue from Ever Gotesco to St. Peter Church (northbound) will be closed to traffic.
A zipper lane will be opened at the southbound lane of Congressional Avenue from Jocfer Building to the Commission on Audit for northbound vehicles.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) advised motorists to take the following routes:
1. Along North Avenue, take Mindanao Avenue, turn right to Quirino Highway to destination and vice versa.
2. Along EDSA, turn right to Congressional Avenue, turn left to Mindanao Avenue, turn right to Old Sauyo Road, straight to Don Julio Gregorio and Republic Avenue, turn left to Chestnut, turn right to Dahlia Avenue, turn left to Fairlane or Regalado Avenue to destination and vice versa.
MMDA said 1,200 personnel will be deployed to manage and supervise traffic in the area. Teams from the Traffic Discipline Office, Road Emergency Group, and Sidewalk Clearing Operations Group will support the operations of the National Capital Region Police Office and the Quezon City Police District.
“We will deploy enough traffic constables to manage the traffic flow on Monday. We will implement our traffic management plan to ensure unimpeded travel of motorists as much as possible. Emergency personnel will likewise be on standby, including fire trucks and ambulances,” MMDA chairman Francis Tolentino said. – Rappler.com
