Marikina City Mayor Marcelino “Marcy” Teodoro said the Marikina Bridge is expected to fully open to vehicular traffic starting on Monday, Jan. 16, after a lane was closed to cordon off the rectification of the cracks and fissures found at the approach of the bridge.
For the past week, the affected area of the bridge was closed off with traffic safety devices as testing, and rectification operations were being conducted by members of the DPWH-NCR and the local government. Located at the center of Marikina City, the bridge serves as the main avenue of the city to reach Aurora Boulevard, heading towards Katipunan Avenue and the C-5 road. It caters to Marikina residents as well as those from the cities and municipalities in Rizal Province.“Siniguro natin na nakadalawang deep cone penetration test ang ginawa natin. ‘Yung una nag fail kaya hindi nabuksan ito noong Sabado. Pero inulit yung test at ngayon nakita natin na maaari na itong mabuksan ,” Teodoro said.
A new series of tests and joint inspections will continue on Monday “in exercising an abundance of caution,” to ensure public safety.Teodoro stressed the importance of the “whole of government” approach, involving both the national and local parties, to solve these infrastructure issues.
