The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has warned the public of possible slow movement of traffic along the affected roads of the ongoing Metro Manila Subway Project (MMSP).
In an advisory, the DOTr announced that a transfer of tunnel boring machines will be undertaken for the MMSP and will affect traffic flow from May 10 to May 12.
The traffic slowdown will occur on May 10–11 at 10 p.m.–4 a.m. and May 11–12 at 10 p.m.–4 a.m.
Affected roads are the following:
- Port/R-10 (between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.)
- C3 Road (between 10:30 p.m. and 11:30 p.m.)

MMSP's full operation is targeted for 2029.
