The bad news is that starting tonight, Friday, May 30, the repair of the Magallanes Interchange will be closed from 11pm to 5am daily for rehabilitation work.
The good news is that the project is expected to be finished by mid-November, after Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officials agreed to compress their projected timetable from the original eight months to just five and a half months.
“The information was revealed by the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), which has been advising motorists to brace themselves for heavy traffic in southern Metro Manila in view of the rehabilitation works on the 39-year-old structure,” reports Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Once again, take note: “A portion of the interchange will be closed to traffic for six hours daily from 11pm to 5am starting May 30. The work will include the replacement of railings and steel expansion joints, asphalt-laying and patch-up of cracks.”
