The road closure advisory

So if your route will be affected by the road closure, the city of Taguig advised all vehicles to take alternate routes, namely the 3rd Avenue and 9th Avenue. With it, you can avoid inconvenience on the road. You can also reach your destination on time for the New Year celebration without delays.

But if you plan to join Alive! 2023, do note that it is free of charge. The organizers will be imposing restrictions for the safety and convenience of eventgoers. Some of these include no smoking, no fireworks or any kind of pyrotechnics, no alcohol, and no laser pens.
