“The road closure takes effect until 2028 and will cover the front section of Capitol Commons up to the corner of Shaw Boulevard,” the Department of Transportation says.
A portion of Meralco Avenue in Ortigas Center, Pasig City will be closed beginning Oct. 3 to give way for the construction of the Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP), the Department of Transportation (DOTr) announced Sunday.
“The road closure takes effect until 2028 and will cover the front section of Capitol Commons up to the corner of Shaw Boulevard,” the DOTr said in a statement.
The DOTr advised motorists to take these alternative routes during the road closure:
• Public Utility Jeepneys from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Captain Henry Javier St. to Danny Floro St. and vice versa
• Modernized Jeepneys from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Doña Julia Vargas Avenue to San Miguel Avenue and back
• UV Express units from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Doña Julia Vargas Avenue to San Miguel Avenue or Anda Road to Camino Verde
• Private vehicles will be able to access all available routes
The agency said Meralco Avenue will serve as the project’s access point to the subway’s Shaw Boulevard station.
When completed, the MMSP will reduce travel time between Quezon City to NAIA from 1 hour and 10 minutes to just 35 minutes.
“Once operational, the 33-km underground mass system will cut across eight cities in Metro Manila, passing three central business districts, and service up to 370,000 passengers daily,” the DOTr added.
