The six-month rehabilitation and upgrading of the drainage system along the northbound lane of Bonifacio Drive in Manila City is set to begin on February 7.
In a social media post on Thursday, the Department of Public Works and Highways – South Manila District Engineering Office (DPWH-SMDEO) said the works on damaged roadways and upgrade of the existing drainage system will start at 11:00 p.m. on Friday.
It said the rehabilitation works will start with the closure of the first lane from the sidewalk, along the northbound lane of Bonifacio Drive, covering 147 linear meters to the intersection of P. Burgos Street until before the intersection of 25th Street.
The DPWH added that the remaining fourth lane will be repaired after the completion of the first lane to avoid further traffic congestion.
Simultaneously, the upgrading of drainage system will be conducted on affected lanes not only to ensure road serviceability for motorists but to also help prevent flooding in the area.
At the same time, motorists are advised of traffic congestion during the repair period, and to use other lanes as alternate routes.
The restart of the project was initially set on Wednesday but was postponed to Friday. (PNA)
