PHThe southbound lane of East Service Road in Parañaque City will be temporarily closed starting July 18, 2026, for construction work on the North-South Commuter Railway Extension (NSCR Extension) project. The Department of Transportation (DOTr) stated that the closure is necessary for building the FTI Station East diaphragm wall. Southbound traffic will be diverted via a temporary route within the Philippine National Railways' Right-of-Way, while the northbound lane remains open. The traffic diversion will coordinate with the expansion plans for Ayala’s East Service Road. The NSCR is a 147-kilometer railway project aiming to connect Metro Manila to Pampanga and Laguna, with the northern section expected to be operational by 2028 and the southern part by 2031.
