The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has issued a warning to motorists regarding potential traffic slowdowns in several areas of Metro Manila from February 2 to 5.

During this period, the transportation of the Metro Manila Subway Project’s (MMSP) Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) is expected to take place, starting from the Manila Harbour Center Port and heading to D. Julia Vargas Avenue in Ortigas Center.

The following roads and corresponding time frames are anticipated to be affected:

– 5th Avenue: Between 11:00 PM and 12:00 midnight
