As Holy Week approaches, many Filipinos are gearing up for their annual religious observances and family gatherings. However, for those planning to travel within Metro Manila, navigating the roads may prove to be a bit challenging due to scheduled 24-hour road works on major thoroughfares.

According to the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and a telecommunications firm will be taking advantage of the summer break to conduct these road works. Beginning on Holy Wednesday (March 27) at 11 pm and continuing round-the-clock until Monday (April 1) at 5 am, these road works aim to improve infrastructure while traffic volume is expected to be relatively lower.

Here are the areas where road works will be undertaken:

MMDA Acting Chairman, Atty. Don Artes emphasized the importance of conducting these road works during the Holy Week break, citing the fewer vehicles on the road during this period. "The clearance for the 24-hour road works aims to strike a balance between maintaining infrastructure and minimizing disruptions and inconvenience to motorists after the significantly religious holidays," he said.
