The recent rains have wreaked havoc on our roads. With potholes appearing on every thoroughfare of Metro Manila, the DPWH has its hands full in repairing them. This weekend, a number of portions along EDSA and C5, and roads in and around Quezon City are scheduled for reblocking. Lane closures in the affected areas will be from today, July 15 until Monday the 18th.

The following are the areas and portions of roads that will be subjected to lane closures to make way for reblocking and repairs:
