(MMDA / MANILA BULLETIN)
This means that the flyover shall only be open to light vehicles, the agency said.
The heavy vehicle ban on the Manila flyover was brought about by the cracks found in its structure. The MMDA provided a photo of the cracks.
“According to the DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways), several cracks were found on the wingwall, concrete pedestal of the steel railings and circular joint jackets. Thus, trucks and trailer trucks will have to use alternative routes to prevent intense damage and untoward incidents,” it said, adding that DPWH has recommended to reduce the flyover’s load limit.
