MacArthur and Quezon Bridges

Vehicles coming from Plaza Sta. Cruz that usually use the southbound lane of MacArthur Bridge should instead turn right onto Dasmariñas Street, left onto Juan Luna Street, then left onto Plaza Cervantes to access Jones Bridge.

On the other hand, vehicles coming from A. Mendoza Street intending to pass through the southbound lane of Quezon Boulevard should turn right onto Fugoso Street, then left onto Tomas Mapua Street toward C.M. Recto Avenue.

Motorists traveling from España Boulevard who would normally take the southbound lane of Quezon Boulevard should instead turn left onto Nicanor Reyes Street before proceeding to C.M. Recto Avenue to reach their destinations.

"Pinapayuhan ang mga motorista na planuhin ang kanilang biyahe at dumaan sa mga alternatibong ruta upang maiwasan ang abala," the Manila PIO said.
