Planning to head to Pasay for work, a quick gala, or maybe an airport trip? Well, before you hit the road, you might want to check your route first because some roads near the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) and Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) are closing ahead of the upcoming ASEAN Summit!

Partial road closures have been in effect since October 24 and will continue until November 9, 2026. Full road closures are also scheduled from November 9 to 20 as preparations continue for the 49th ASEAN Summit.

So, which roads should you watch out for? J.W. Diokno Boulevard, Atang Dela Rama Street, Pedro Bukaneg Street, and Vicente Sotto Street are among the affected areas.

If your usual route takes you through these roads, better prepare for possible traffic delays and consider alternate routes before leaving. After all, nobody wants a supposedly quick drive to turn into an unexpected road trip, right?

These closures could also affect motorists heading to the World Trade Center, Roxas Boulevard, and nearby business districts. So whether you're going to work, meeting friends, or catching a flight, giving yourself extra travel time could save you from unnecessary stress.

The road restrictions are part of the preparations for the ASEAN Summit, which will bring regional leaders together. While the closures may cause some inconvenience for motorists, staying updated on traffic advisories can help make your trip a little smoother.

So, before heading out, make sure to check traffic advisories, plan your route, and give yourself extra travel time to avoid unnecessary delays.

Because every trip should be about getting to your destination, not testing your patience on the road! So, plan ahead and travel easy, everyone!
