A portion of P. Remedio Street at the corner of A.S. Fortuna Street in Barangay Banilad, Mandaue City, is closed until July. This closure stems from an ongoing drainage rehabilitation project managed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Hyll Retuya, the head of the Traffic Enforcement Agency of Mandaue (TEAM), announced that the partial road closure covers the stretch near the Jollibee area heading toward the Oakridge section. The project won't finish for more than a month. Completion is targeted for around the middle of July, according to Retuya.

The DPWH project involves the rehabilitation of the drainage system along P. Remedio Street. This work improves the street's drainage capacity and reduces flooding in the area. The project includes the installation of new drainage pipes and the upgrading of the existing drainage system.

Retuya emphasized that the partial closure of P. Remedio Street affects residents and commuters in the area, particularly those who travel to and from the Oakridge section. The team is working closely with local authorities to minimize disruptions to daily life in the area.

The DPWH project is one of several ongoing infrastructure projects in Mandaue City aimed at improving the city's road network and reducing congestion. The city government has been working closely with the DPWH to ensure that these projects reach completion on schedule and to the required quality standards.

Residents and commuters in the area are advised to use alternative routes during the partial closure of P. Remedio Street. The city government will provide updates on the project's progress and any changes to the road closure schedule.

"[We] will provide updates on the project's progress and any changes to the road closure schedule, so [people] can plan their commute accordingly," Retuya said.
