While the DPWH has completed repairs on the flyover, allowing drivers to use it again, DPWH National Capital Region (NCR) Regional Director Loreta Malaluan noted that work will continue beneath the structure. According to data from the MMDA Traffic Engineering Center, the southbound lanes of the flyover see daily traffic from 24,000 cars and 23,000 motorcycles.
Acting Chairman Artes added that coordination with other agencies is ongoing for the reinforcement of additional bridges in Metro Manila, including the Guadalupe Bridge and the Magallanes flyover in Makati City. “Rehabilitation works are ongoing on the Magallanes flyover but only during the night, and no closures have been implemented so as to minimize inconvenience to vehicular traffic,” said Artes.
For motorists who use the flyover regularly, it’s back to business as usual with its reopening.
