Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 15) — The Marikina Bridge is set to fully reopen on Monday after a lane was closed off for the repair of cracks discovered along a side of the bridge, Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro announced Sunday.
“Inaasahan natin ay bukas mabubuksan na natin ito… Makikita natin, madami pa rin tayong traffic enforcers sa area. Mino-monitor ng mabuti yung integrity ng tulay lalo na kapag ginamit na ito ng madaming sasakyan,” Teodoro said in an interview with DZRH.
[Translation: We hope that tomorrow we will be able to open it… We’ll see, we’ll have a lot of traffic enforcers in the area. The integrity of the bridge will be carefully monitored, especially when it’s being used by many vehicles.”
The Marikina Bridge underwent construction after the local government reported a meters-long crack allegedly caused by an ongoing project of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
