Buendia off-ramp closed for traffic dry run

BEFORE Skyway Stage 3 proponent Citra Central Expressway Corp. starts building Section 1-Phase 2, a three-day traffic dry run will be conducted on the 225-meter stretch of Osmeña Highway, between the Buendia off-ramp and Dela Rosa Street, starting at 6 a.m. today until midnight of Monday, June 8.

The Buendia off-ramp will be temporarily closed during the dry run, and eventually during the construction of Phase 2. Motorists using light vehicles coming from the Skyway’s elevated section going to Manila and the Makati central business district are advised to exit at Magallanes, Don Bosco or Amorsolo.

Buses must exit only at Magallanes or Don Bosco. The CCEC traffic management group, the Metro Manila Development Authority and the traffic units of Makati City will oversee the dry run prior to the implementation of a final traffic plan.

Skyway Stage 3 is a 14.8-km elevated expressway with eight access points in strategic locations that will connect South Luzon Expressway with North Luzon Expressway, from Buendia in Makati City to Balintawak, Quezon City.

The project aims to ease traffic conditions on Metro Manila’s major thoroughfares like Edsa, C5 and those in central Manila.
