DPWH to conduct repair works in Quezon City this Lenten break

MANILA — The Department of Public Works and Highways-National Capital Region (DPWH-NCR) will take advantage of the Lenten break to work on three road sections in Quezon City this week.

DPWH NCR Director Melvin Navarro said maintenance teams will be deployed to monitor and repair the three road sections starting at 12 midnight on Thursday, March 29, 2018, until 5 a.m. on Monday, April 2, 2018.

Meanwhile, Navarro added that the nine District Engineering Offices of DPWH-NCR will also deploy Lakbay Alalay teams in strategic locations along Metro Manila roads to assist motorists heading to their respective provinces for the Holy Week.
