CTTMO prepares for March 26 Ironman road closures

The City Transport and Traffic Management Office said that the flyers to be distributed to affected establishments, churches, and subdivision is now being prepared to ensure wider dissemination of the road closures for Alveo Ironman.

CTTMO Head Dionisio Abude said that their office will enforce a strict “no parking” zone along F. Torres St. to Lasang on March 26, 2023.

“Ma-close nato ang gikan J.P Laurel-F. Torres paingon didto sa Lasang all the way to Tagum (We will close (The road from J.P Laurel- F. Torres going to Lasang to Tagum),” he said.

He also said that they have coordinated with the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) and informed the agency that as early as 3 am on March 26, the race course along Daang Maharlika Highway will be closed. It will reopen at 3 pm on the same day.

“So kadtong mga clients nato sa PPA, dapat makabalo sila ingon anang orasa siyempre mga barko nga mag-anchor diha dapat kabalo ang ilahang clients (To our clients at PPA they should know that it will be at that time, and also the clients of boats that will anchor in the area should know about it),” he said.

He added that those going to or exiting from the Davao-Samal Ferryboat terminal will also be affected.

“Kadtong pud atong Davao Samal ferryboat kabalo sila nga ingon anang orasa close ang atong Maharlika so walay sakyanan nga makaagi (For our Davao-Samal Ferry Boat they should also know that the Maharlika Highway will be closed during that time so no vehicle can pass),” he said.

Abude said that the closure of the northbound and southbound lanes from Azuela or R. Castillo going to Tagum should be expected similar to what was implemented during the Ironman races in 2018 and 2019.

The race course of the Alveo Ironman 70.3 is posted on their official Facebook Page. CIO
