The Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said construction of the foundations for the Metro Rail Transit-7 beginning Saturday will only occupy the two innermost lanes of the North Avenue in Quezon City.
"They promised us that if they're going to get one lane each sa innermost, 'yung three lanes and two lanes po each side, ipa-promise nila na hindi mababawasan," MMDA Assistant General Manager Jojo Garcia said at a press conference Friday.
Garcia said the North Avenue will not be totally closed off but if traffic builds up in the area, motorists bound for or coming from the Quezon City Memorial Circle can be rerouted.
"Yung sa Circle pwede pumunta Mindanao, punta sa Road 3 lalabas ng Visayas," Garcia said.
The MMDA assured there will be a coordination between the contractors and the agency to prevent causing a heavy traffic flow.
"So any movement diyan, nagkaroon kami ng pag-uusap, talagang kailangan ng close coordination with the MMDA... I think mas mapapaganda 'yung flow ng traffic diyan," Garcia added.
He also said the contractors will be penalized if they fail to inform the agency about changes in their operations.
"Hindi na sila puwede gumalaw ng walang pagpaalam sa MMDA. Any movement na hindi namin alam, may penalty," he said.
The MMDA said "major construction" will only take place in the area between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.
The contractor of the MRT-7 Hyundai Rotem-EEI consortium estimated that construction of the whole project, which has six phases, will finish in 2019.
"As with regards to the schedule, 'yung sisimulan kasi sa North Avenue tomorrow is 'yung foundation, that will take a month bago itayo 'yung poste. We can expect na 'yung construction along North Avenue tuloy tuloy na ito hanggang sa matapos sa 2019," an official said.
The consortium said the laying of the foundations will start from the Veterans Memorial Medical Center facing North Avenue to Agham Road, and will take about a month to finish.
"Du'n sa one month na 'yun, foundation lang siya, hindi pa siya 'yung buong structure. Wala pa 'yung column o poste, so that will be another schedule or timeline," the official further said. — MDM, GMA News
