"intake port." upward slope entrance.

there is an upward sloping segment of roadway, at the right side of the surface-grade road, where one drove up, to gain access to the segment of skyway that had just been opened last week.
i missed it, partly because it was so un-obtrusive. i did not notice any before-entrance signage.
the only sign i saw, was a small sign (1 meter wide, in my estimate) just beside the entrance to the slope.
also, the construction works all around the vicinity, made it difficult to see things. hindi pa streamlined yung area. scaffoldings everywhere.

ah... eh...
ok lang.
whichever direction, traffic downstairs is bypassed.

but i noticed yesterday at 5 pm..
ang haba ng northbound skyway traffic sa buendia... may TE sa itaas, sa ulo ng pila.. para yatang ini-ipon ang traffic for a considerable amount of time.. yung ibang drayber kasi, nasa labas ng sasakyan at nag-e-exercise ng paa..
parang coastal road nung unang panahon..

Is it just me or is traffic getting even worse nowadays? Edsa and c5 are real slogs......

Really need Skyway Stage 3 operational asap.

my feeling is,
metro traffic is so bad,
if a major roadway gets bogged down due to diggings or other, the rest of the other roads get even more congested.

example,
edsa traffic is bad, because folks who otherwise would have been using osmena and nagtahan, do edsa..

When the new ramp from Merville opened, the northbound traffic of C5 from SLEX got worse. Right after exiting SLEX, it is bumper to bumper up to the new U-Turn slot in front of Heritage. Usually, traffic on that part is light. You can even do triple digit speeds from SLEX exit up to the ridge before the exit to Bayani road.
