Starting Sunday midnight, Jan. 12, the entire northbound lane of Mindanao Avenue in Quezon City will be closed to traffic for the start of the full-blast construction of the Tandang Sora Station of the Metro Manila Subway Project.
The entire southbound lane of the Mindanao Avenue was already closed to traffic on Sept. 14 last year and MMDA chairperson Don Artes said there is a need to shut down the other side of the road to give way to the ongoing construction of the subway project.
“The Tandang Sora Station Box will be constructed beneath Mindanao Avenue. In order to do this, we need to divert traffic on both sides, specifically southbound and northbound,” said Aganon in a recent press briefing at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority office in Pasig City. The P488.48-billion Metro Manila Subway Project is a 33-kilometer underground railway system through eight cities in the National Capital Region .
Artes, for his part, said the Department of Public Works and Highways will do the traffic diversion in both south and northbound directions of Mindanao Avenue.
