MANILA, Philippines — The transportation department announced the closure of two southbound lanes of North Avenue from Sugar Center to Ninoy Aquino Park and Wildlife Center starting Wednesday, July 8, to give way for the installation of gable roofs for the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7).
The temporary closure will take effect from 10 a.m to 4 p.m and will last until September 30, the Department of Transportation said in an advisory on Tuesday, July 7.
To manage the traffic flow, a zipper lane will be implemented on the northbound lane of North Avenue.
