“The road closure takes effect until 2028 and will cover the front section of Capitol Commons up to the corner of Shaw Boulevard,” the DOTr said in a statement.
• Public Utility Jeepneys from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Captain Henry Javier St. to Danny Floro St. and vice versa
• Modernized Jeepneys from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Doña Julia Vargas Avenue to San Miguel Avenue and back
• UV Express units from Meralco Avenue going to Shaw Boulevard will be rerouted to Doña Julia Vargas Avenue to San Miguel Avenue or Anda Road to Camino Verde
• Private vehicles will be able to access all available routes
The agency said Meralco Avenue will serve as the project’s access point to the subway’s Shaw Boulevard station.
The MMSP, which will stretch from Valenzuela City to the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) in Pasay City, may begin partial operation by 2025. Full operation is seen by 2027, the DOTr earlier said.
When completed, the MMSP will reduce travel time between Quezon City to NAIA from 1 hour and 10 minutes to just 35 minutes.
“Once operational, the 33-km underground mass system will cut across eight cities in Metro Manila, passing three central business districts, and service up to 370,000 passengers daily,” the DOTr added.
