MANILA – Motorists are advised to take alternate routes on Thursday (January 28) when a portion of Samson Road – A. Mabini (Sangandaan) going to Obando in Bulacan will temporarily close, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced.

This coincides with several other lane closures at 19 intersections in Metro Manila to make way for its traffic signalization project.
“The project involves traffic signalization of 50 new warranted intersections and integrations to existing traffic signal control system, including installation of LED lightings in the said intersections,” the MMDA said.
