NLEX traffic eases as all Marilao northbound lanes reopen
All four northbound lanes of the NLEX Marilao Interchange Bridge fully reopened early Wednesday, March 26, 2025, ahead of the original schedule.
The bridge sustained damage on March 19, 2025, after an 18-wheeler truck exceeding the vertical clearance struck it, damaging two bridge girders.
NLEX Corporation expedited repairs by delivering fabricated steel and having teams work around the clock, meeting a demand from Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon to finish repairs within one week.
Supporting steel poles will remain on the lanes to allow concrete curing, but traffic flow is expected to normalize in the next few days.
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) thanked NLEX for the early reopening and had previously asked NLEX to suspend toll collection on the Marilao segment while repairs were ongoing.
