Metro Manila Development Authority advised motorists about the upcoming Marcos Bridge rehabilitation project.

On a media briefing Tuesday, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) General Manager Jojo Garcia announced that the eastbound portion of the bridge is first to be closed.

“Starting Saturday, May 4 at 11 pm, we are going to close the eastbound portion of the Marcos Bridge until the next four months,” said Garcia.

Garcia stated that the bridge’s rehabilitation is already long overdue and that private contractors have been requesting for the schedule of the repair since last year.

In MMDA’s rerouting plan, vehicles going to Antipolo could take the westbound direction while vehicles to Cubao in Quezon City could use the service road in front of SM Marikina Mall.

After four months, the contractors of DPWH will start working in the other direction after four months.

Garcia said that because of this project, MMDA will adjust the truck ban hours to 6 am-10 am from the existing 7 am- 10 am.
