Inanunsyo ngayong Linggo ng Department of Transportation (DOTr) ang pagsasara ng isang bahagi ng Meralco Avenue sa Pasig City simula Oktubre 3, 9:00 ng gabi hanggang 2028 para bigyang-daan ang Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP).
“The road closure takes effect until 2028 and will cover the front section of Capitol Commons up to the corner of Shaw Boulevard,” ayon sa advisory ng DOTr.
“Meralco Avenue will serve as the project’s access point to the subway’s Shaw Boulevard Station,” dagdag pa nito.
Pinayuhan ang mga motorista na dumaan sa mga alternatibong ruta na ibinigay ng Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA), Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB), gayundin ng mga local government unit ng Pasig City at Mandaluyong City.
Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) – from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Captain Henry Javier St. to Danny Floro St. and vice versa
