The Pasig Boulevard-C5 Flyover and C5 Boni Serrano Flyover will be available to the public ahead of their originally scheduled opening dates, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) confirmed on Sunday. The northbound lane of the Pasig Boulevard-C5 Flyover is expected to open to traffic on Monday evening, marking the first phase of the project's completion.
The early reopening of these critical transport infrastructure projects comes as Manila continues efforts to alleviate chronic traffic congestion affecting the metro's road network. Both flyovers serve as important thoroughfares connecting major business and residential districts across the metro area.
The DPWH did not provide a specific timeline for the opening of the southbound lane of the Pasig Boulevard-C5 Flyover or details regarding the C5 Boni Serrano Flyover's phased reopening. Motorists are advised to monitor official DPWH announcements for updates on full project completion and any temporary traffic advisories during the transition period.
