THE Bacolod Traffic Authority Office (BTAO) will temporarily close the north and south lanes of Lacson-Circumferential flyover in Barangay Bata for rehabilitation effective March 16 to May 23.
Dennis Perma, spokesperson of BTAO, said the rehabilitation will be undertaken by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
It will be done segment by segment, Perma said.
"During the rehabilitation, they will open a single lane or one-way for the light vehicles only," he said, adding that they will deploy traffic enforcers in the area to ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
The P365 million worth Lacson-Circumferential flyover was constructed in 2011 consisting of five spans, four piers on concrete piles with a total length of 195 meters.
Perma said the DPWH earlier inspected the flyover and they recommended its rehabilitation for the safety of the motorists.
BTAO also reminded the DPWH to put up signages in the area to avoid traffic accidents during night time.
Perma said the Sum-ag Bridge 1 along Bacolod South Araneta in Barangay Sum-ag will also be closed to all vehicles from March 15 to 23 for the rehabilitation and major repairs of the structure.
