INFOGRAPHIC: How to cope with Magallanes Interchange's repair

MANILA, Philippines — The southbound lane of the Magallanes interchange will be closed to traffic from August 8 to 17 for rehabilitation by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said.

The MMDA has advised the affected motorists traveling from Manila to Cubao to take the service road, turn to Magallanes Village, then take the Magallanes ramp to EDSA.

MMDA traffic engineering center director Noemi Recio said the affected lane is the one from Osmeña Highway in Manila going to the Southern Luzon Expressway toward Alabang.
