Makati to EDSA

[digitalron]

Looking at the map, I've identified a possible alternative route in an effort to beat rush-hour traffic from Makati if you're forced to take EDSA going northbound. Just not sure if the alternate route will be congested as well...

Makati Ave --> Burgos St --> Kalayaan Ave --> Rockwell Drive

a) I don't recall there being any flyover going to the northbound lane if coming from rockwell? If not kasi, then I'll have to take Estrella going to JP Rizal street. (hindi naman 1 way yung mga yan diba?).

b) Given that the normal route is taking the flyover along Buendia to EDSA, will there be any time savings at all given this 'long cut'?

Yup, there is no northbound flyover from Rockwell to Edsa. Only Edsa to Rockwell.

From Rockwell, you can proceed to JP Rizal via Estrella then go to Edsa via Guadalupe near Trace College. You can also opt to run parallel to JP Rizal by turning right near Nestle. There are several points where you can then turn left to JP Rizal. I use these routes when I come from Rockwell.

An alternative is to proceed to the Makati Mandaluyong Bridge towards Maysilo. From there, you have the option of going to Edsa via Boni or Shaw. If Boni, you can go Pioneer underpass and go back to Edsa via Madison. If via Shaw, you can turn left to Edsa.
