Some roads in Quezon City will be repaired and re-blocked by the Department of Public Works and Highways starting Fri (Feb 3) night until 5:00 a.m. Mon, Feb 6, which may cause traffic to build up in the city.

The affected roads are as follows:

Along Quirino Highway, from Arceli St. to Mindanao Avenue (1 lane occupied).

The westbound section of Ortigas Ave. in front of La Salle Greenhills may be congested from 3 p.m. onwards on Saturday due to a school homecoming event.

The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) also warned motorists to steer clear of Kalentong in Mandaluyong on Feb 9, Thu, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., due to the Pasa-Masid Grand Civic Parade.
