SKYWAY System operator Skyway O&M Corp. (Somco) will close the entire stretch of the elevated section of the Skyway System from Buendia to Alabang, both northbound and southbound directions, from 8 p.m. on January 31 until 8 a.m. on February 1, for the staging of a marathon race for the benefit of the Hero Foundation Inc. (Hero) in partnership with Condura.
Hero is a non-governmental organization providing educational assistance to children and dependent siblings of Filipino soldiers killed in action or totally incapacitated while in the line of duty.
In a statement, Somco advised motorists to use the Skyway’s at-grade section for the duration of the marathon, and appeals for their understanding and cooperation for any inconvenience the said event may cause.
It assured its motoring patrons of continuous safe and smooth flow of vehicular traffic along the tollway in coordination with, among others, the Highway Patrol Group and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority.
It added that it will also intensify its monitoring operations both on Skyway System’s elevated and at-grade sections to secure people and facilities, assist distressed motorists and prevent lawless activities.
