The southbound lane of Dimasalang Bridge in Manila is closed to motorists until December 15 for rehabilitation.
The Department of Public Works and Highways National Capital Region (DPWH NCR) announced the closure, which began on Sunday, September 14.
The rehabilitation project involves retrofitting piers and abutments, replacing concrete girders with steel ones, and constructing a new redecking slab.
The northbound lane of the bridge remains open to traffic during the construction period.
Some commuters and public utility vehicle drivers expressed concerns over the closure, with some jeepney drivers worried about the potential impact on their income due to longer routes.
The DPWH stated the rehabilitation aims to strengthen the bridge's load capacity.

The rehabilitation project is led by the DPWH North Manila District Engineering Office after receiving clearance from the Manila LGU and the MMDA.
