The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has announced a temporary lane closure along North Avenue in Quezon City from September 24 to November 30 to facilitate excavation for a pedestrian tunnel for the Metro Rail Transit Line 7 (MRT-7).

This closure is specifically for the excavation works of the Quezon Memorial Circle Station of the MRT-7, which will be in effect 24 hours a day.

Motorists and commuters are advised to take alternative routes during this period.

The DOTr is working with SMC Mass Rail Transit 7 Inc. for this project, which is part of the effort to deliver a modern public transport system.

In June this year, the DOTr stated that the MRT-7's 12 stations, from North Edsa to Sacred Heart station, are expected to be operational in 2027.
