EDSA-Makati reblocking snarls traffic near SLEX

Reblocking work along a portion of Epifanio delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) in Makati City snarled traffic near the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) Saturday afternoon. The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said the Department of Public Works and Highways was conducting the reblocking at the foot of the EDSA Magallanes flyover’s northbound portion. The reblocking “severely [affected] SLEX northbound traffic up to Bicutan," the MMDA said. According to the MMDA’s Twitter account, traffic was crawling at 10 kph at the area between SLEX northbound and Bicutan. But in a separate Twitter message, the MMDA said traffic at the northbound part of SLEX from Alabang to C-5 was light to moderate. It also said traffic at the northbound part of C5 from Kalayaan to Bagong Ilog was moderate. — JE, GMA News
