Manila: The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to begin repair work on the expansion joints of the M. Roxas Jr. flyover's northbound lane in Manila starting this weekend. The initiative will address the affected expansion joints in a phased manner.

According to Philippines News Agency, the DPWH - North Manila District Engineering Office announced that repair activities will commence at 10 p.m. on June 6. The repairs will involve partial lane closures by segments, with work covering two consecutive expansion joints per half lane. Each segment's repair is expected to take seven days to complete.
