MANILA, Philippines – The city government of Makati advised motorists that some roads will be closed for the New Year’s Eve countdown.

Makati City issued a traffic advisory ahead of the staging of "Shout! Makati New Year’s Eve Countdown” which will be held at University of Makati (UMAK) Track and Field Oval.

According to Makati Traffic, the portion of J.P. Rizal Extension from Lawton Avenue to Buting will be closed from 2 p.m. on Dec. 31, 2015 to 2 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2016.

In its advisory, Makati Traffic said only residents of Barangay West Rembo and Barangay East Rembo, to be identified by Bantay Bayan personnel, will be allowed to pass through that section of the road.

All other vehicles will be re-routed to Kalayaan Avenue going to C-5 Road and Buting.

For motorists who will be coming from Guadalupe/EDSA, they are advised to turn right to Lawton Avenue, turn left to Kalayaan Avenue and then right at C-5 Road toward destination (southbound), or take the elevated U-turn and turn right to Buting and Pateros, or straight ahead toward Pasig (northbound).

Meanwhile, those motorists who are headed to Guadalupe/EDSA are advised to take Kalayaan Avenue via elevated U-turn and turn right to Lawton Avenue, and then turn left to Guadalupe toward destination.

Motorists may go straight to Kalayaan Avenue toward EDSA or Gudalupe instead of turning right to Lawton Avenue.

The Makati Traffic also informed the public that there will be a one-side parking along J.P. Rizal Extension (UMAK side) during the said period and only vehicles with car pass will be allowed to enter UMAK and Makati Park and Garden.
