QUEZON CITY, (PIA) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and a telecommunications firm will undertake 24-hour road works on major roads in Metro Manila during Holy Week.
According to MMDA Acting Chairperson Atty. Don Artes, the Holy Week break is the best time for the contractors to complete their rork works and reblocking activities since "fewer vehicles are on Metro Manila streets during that period."
"The clearance for the 24-hour road works aims to strike a balance between maintaining infrastructure and minimizing disruptions and inconvenience to motorists after the significantly religious holidays," said Artes.
