MANILA, Philippines - The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) on Thursday came out with its traffic rerouting plan in Quezon City for the last State of the Nation Address (SONA) of President Benigno Aquino III on Monday. 
 
From 3 a.m., the stretch of Commonwealth Avenue northbound from Ever Gotesco to St. Peter Church will be closed to traffic.  
 
A zipper lane will be opened at the southbound lane of Congressional Avenue from Jocfer Building to the Commission on Audit for northbound vehicles.
       
MMDA Chair Francis Tolentino has advised motorists to avoid the affected areas and take the following alternate routes to avoid any inconvenience:
 
  • Along North Avenue, take Mindanao Avenue, turn right to Quirino Highway to destination and vice versa.
  • Along Edsa, turn right to Congressional Avenue, turn left to Mindanao Avenue, turn right to Old Sauyo Road, straight to Don Julio Gregorio and Republic Avenue, turn left to Chestnut, turn right to Dahlia Avenue, turn left to Fairlane or Regalado Avenue to destination and vice versa.
Meanwhile, MMDA will deploy 1,200 personnel composed of teams to manage both vehicular and pedestrian traffic and support the operations of the National Capital Region Police Office and the Quezon City Police District.
 
"We will deploy enough traffic constables to manage the traffic flow on Monday. We will implement our traffic management plan to ensure unimpeded travel of motorists as much as possible. Emergency personnel will likewise be on standby, including fire trucks and ambulances," he said. 
 
Like in previous SONAs, the MMDA, together with the Quezon City police, is in charge of traffic management along Commonwealth Avenue and Batasan Road leading to the Batasang Pambansa complex.
