Traffic Advisory: Road works, Accidents, Floods, Detours, etc.

UPDATE: Boni, Pinatubo service road going to EDSA from Boni tunnel.

This is now totally closed to traffic. If you're coming from the Boni tunnel and intend to turn right going up to EDSA, you're out of luck. You'll have to go straight to Boni and use those side streets to 'loop around'(since no U-turn at Boni) to go to the other side(of Boni) and up into EDSA.

Don't know if coming from Pioneer and exiting EDSA(northbound) and taking the Crossing U-turn slot to go to EDSA(southbound) would be better...but that's an alternative you may try.

So post your known problem area so we tsikoteers can avoid passing thru those.

As of 07/14/2006:

Boni, Pinatubo: service road going to EDSA is one lane only due to road work. So if you are coming from Pioneer St. to the Boni tunnel, expect heavier than usual traffic in that area especially during rush hours. The bottleneck also affects motorists going straight to Boni Circle, and stretches as far as the intersection of Sheridan & Pioneer Sts.

Eto naranasan ko kanina sa SLEX, both northbound and soutbound 1 lane barely passable each, yung service road not passable. This is near astra, before bicutan exit.

Update pala dito.

Kanina passable na, at least hindi na kailangan umikot saan-saan mga motorista galing ng Boni tunnel going to EDSA.

swordsman,

May konting lubak pa rin pagpasok mo ng Urdaneta City, pero pwede na pagtiyagaan. It's not as bad as it was a month or two ago as they've put new asphalt on some areas and compacted earth on others.

Aside from Urdaneta, there are some bumpy parts in San Manuel, Tarlac and Carmen, Pangasinan (in front of the bus terminal), so just keep your eyes peeled to keep from hitting any potholes.

The Subic-Clark-Tarlac expressway is still under construction, so there are still detours when you exit NLEX, both at Mabalacat and in Concepcion, although traffic doesn't usually build up in these areas.

Also, be advised that if you're travelling at night, you will probably encounter several police and military checkpoints along the highway.

Stay safe and have a peaceful, uneventful journey.

Saw the same construction work this Sunday morning. It's on the Guadalupe portion, right in the middle of southbound EDSA. I don't know if there are other works in progress on other parts though.

Northbound is also jammed, approaching Guadalupe portion also. I wasn't sure though if it's due to construction work as well or an accident.

That's my way going to office. Thanks for the advice. Anyway, I'd be leaving very early tomorrow as my car is coding tomorrow.

Medyo OT: Bakit po sobrang sira sira ng daan sa Mayon street QC? from A.Bonifacio to Quezon Ave as in ang lalalim ng mga lubak.

Due to the heavy rains we've been experiencin up north these past days, I'm going to have to revise my earlier post.

New advisory is: avoid passing through Urdaneta City if you can. The potholes have returned with a vengeance, as the filling material that DPWH placed to level the road has been washed away by the rain
