Next week, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) Annual Meeting will be happening from September 26 to 30, 2022. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has announced that it will be providing traffic assistance to delegates, and as such, motorists should expect traffic disruptions during that period.
The event will be held at the ADB Headquarters in Ortigas Center, Mandaluyong City. The MMDA expects there will be at least 300 delegates from member economies of the ADB during this year’s five-day meeting. There will be no road closures, but there will be an ADB Special Lane opened along Saint Francis and Bank Drive for the delegates’ convoys on September 28 and 29.

In addition, the Philippine National Police and the Mandaluyong City and the Pasig City governments are deploying personnel to manage and control traffic along the ADB routes.
