00:00Let's take a look at the situation of the traffic on the Kamuning flyover in Quezon City
00:05which is currently being retrofitted.
00:08Ryan Lesigas will give you the details live.
00:14Audrey, the MMDA again asked the motorists in Abala and Usad, Bagong
00:20to bring the traffic here in this part of EDSA
00:23because the Kamuning flyover is being retrofitted.
00:28The Kamuning flyover has been closed for more than 20 days for the motorists for the retrofitting.
00:35But until now, it seems that the motorists are still confused.
00:39The passers-by here are complaining about the lack of MMDA personnel guarding the area.
00:46The motorists noticed that whenever the peak hours are approaching,
00:50the MMDA only uses flashing lights to guide the traffic in Usad and Bagong.
00:56This is just a routine.
01:01If there are passengers going to Ortigas, they will be here for 5 to 10 minutes.
01:08If it's a bottleneck, they will be here.
01:12But the MMDA is dependent on the peak hours
01:16because they estimate where the line of vehicles will be.
01:21We are reassured that our command center is monitoring this.
01:25And so are the people on the ground.
01:28Maybe we will just add more personnel to coordinate
01:33so that we can see where the lanes that need to be run are.
01:40During peak hours, traffic in Usad and Bagong starts from Bagong to Quezon City.
01:46This is where one and a half lanes start,
01:49which is blocked by the MMDA until the morning flyover itself.
01:53Vehicles are also being collected because of the traffic light in Timug Avenue.
01:58So bear with us.
01:59We are checking if this kind of man-to-man during peak hours will be effective
02:05so that the flow of traffic in Edsa and Kamuning will be faster
02:12while the line is being built.
02:15The construction of the 32-year-old bridge will take almost 6 months to October.
02:23According to the MMDA Traffic Engineering Center,
02:2624,000 four-wheeled vehicles and 23,000 motorcycles
02:32are used in the southbound lane of the Kamuning flyover every day.
02:37Audrey, according to the MMDA, motorists should use alternative routes
02:45such as Panay Avenue, West Avenue, Scout, Borromeo, and Mother Ignatia
02:51so that the travel will not be delayed during rush hour.
02:56Audrey, as you can see behind me,
03:00the vehicles are now in Kamungo.
03:03The vehicles that pass through the Kamuning flyover are now blocked.
03:08One of the reasons for this is because some lanes are already full
03:11and the stoplight is on the side of Timug Avenue.
03:15Audrey.
03:16Thank you very much, Ryan Lesigues.
