Magallanes interchange

[mac103]

Talaga bang tanga at bobo ang mga gov't employees sa bansa natin? Or kulang lang talaga sa pagiisip...as mostly, not car owners/drivers at commuters lang ang mga nag dedecide ng mga bagay na ganito?

Magallanes interchange was opened in 1975 i think. Please suggest, how do you proceed repairing a ~40 year old structure which is being used by thousands of vehicles 24/7/365?

If the govt does nothing, and God forbid, an earthquake occurs during rush hour, destroying the interchange, causing multiple casualties, malamang yan din ang sasabihin ng mga tao, na tanga at bobo ang govt dahil hinayaang mabulok ang structure.

How about trying a 24 hour/ 3 shift crew to speed up the repair and lessen the number of days it will be closed.

How about doing half a section at a time?

You know road projects and repairs such as these are done in other parts of the world with proper planning and care that ensures that traffic flow is minimally impeded.

Diti sa atin, there's no concern or planning as to trying to maintain a sensible traffic flow.. For example, it's ok to turn NLEX to a parking lot so that one religious group can inaugurate their poorly planned arena as it relates to traffic.

^ Re: doing it one section at a time, I believe that's the plan. SB segment first, then other segments to follow. Kung half section meaning 1 out of 2 lanes muna, that was done during the Alabang viaduct rehab, pero 6 lanes wide yun. Magallanes interchange is much narrower and complex sa dami ng exit and entry ramp, not sure if that would be structurally possible.

Though I must agree that there appears to be no consideration at all to the displaced vehicles. Where would Alabang-bound vehicles from EDSA SB go? Parang the mentality is, try muna natin, tingnan kung ano effect. Kung magka-carmageddon, so be it.

^ Magkakaalaman bukas kung ano mangyayari... For sure madadamay dito routes sa Makati paakyat ng Skyway

The Magallanes interchange bridge is so narrow that doing it one lane at a time will have almost exactly the same effect as simply closing it off... while causing construction to take twice as long... just as what happened when they resurfaced the Buendia flyover on Sergio Osmena.

For how bad the traffic got back then, the flyover was practically useless.

Dapat kasi 24/7 full blast construction by a competent construction company. Minsan kasi ang gumagawa ng trabaho parang kulang na nga sa heavy equipment, wala pa safety equipment, signs etc at yung mga tao nila wala masyado experience.

Sana kahit for the duration of the construction mag discount ang skyway kahit kaunti lang para dun na lang dumaan mga ibang vehicle going south bound.

Sana kahit for the duration of the construction mag discount ang skyway kahit kaunti lang para dun na lang dumaan mga ibang vehicle going south bound.

What do you expect from the lowest bidder? Discount sa skyway? Business is business

C5 or Skyway (from EDSA turn right at Pasay road)

I would not even attempt to pass service road. Hellish traffic diyan.
