Expect Heavy Traffic as Mindanao Underpass Will be Partially Closed on Weekends

(SPOT.ph) Heading out of town for the weekend? Motorists bound for the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) should expect heavier traffic than usual near the Quirino Highway and Mindanao Avenue intersection due to the partial closure of the underpass over the next two weekends.

The C5 Mindanao Underpass in Quezon City will be temporarily closed from October 20 to October 23 and October 27 to October 30 to give way to reblocking works.

This will allow for necessary road repairs on damaged sections of the underpass pavement, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
