Motorists traveling north for the Undas holiday can expect all lanes of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) to remain open, according to the tollway operator. The decision follows a temporary suspension of lane closures that had been in place earlier in the week.
The NLEX management confirmed that the full use of all lanes will be maintained to accommodate the increased traffic during the holiday period. This move aims to reduce congestion and improve travel conditions for drivers heading to northern provinces.
The Undas holiday, also known as the Feast of the Holy Souls, is a significant religious observance in the Philippines. It typically sees a surge in travel as families visit cemeteries and attend religious services. The NLEX has been working to manage traffic flow during peak travel times, adjusting lane closures based on real-time conditions.
This adjustment comes after previous reports of lane closures causing delays for travelers. The tollway operator has emphasized its commitment to ensuring smooth traffic movement during the holiday season. No further details were provided on the duration of the lane-open policy.
