Affected Areas and Alternative Routes
The rerouting scheme primarily focuses on roads leading to major cemeteries and memorial parks throughout the city. Motorists are advised to familiarize themselves with the designated alternative routes to avoid congestion and delays.
Public Transportation Guidelines
Public utility vehicles will follow specific rerouting instructions during this period. Commuters should anticipate changes in pickup and drop-off points, particularly near cemetery areas.
