MANILA, Philippines — San Miguel Corp. (SMC) is advising motorists that the two-lane steel ramp connecting the Alabang viaduct to the elevated Skyway system will be used for southbound traffic only starting Monday.
SMC said yesterday the move will be part of the new traffic rerouting scheme to be implemented in order to fasttrack the construction of the southbound Skyway Extension project.
The company said motorists coming from the south can use the recently opened northbound section of Skyway Extension to directly access the elevated Skyway system, without having to go to the Alabang viaduct.
It said the steel ramp at the Alabang viaduct will now be devoted to southbound vehicles only, as the company earlier announced the permanent closure of the southbound Hillsborough Skyway off-ramp.
SMC president Ramon Ang said the firm is making “necessary adjustments” to complete the Skyway Extension by the third quarter this year.
Drivers of Class 1 vehicles from South Luzon Expressway bound for Pasay, Makati, Manila and Quezon City should take the new northbound ramp of the Skyway Extension project near Soldiers’ Hills while those from Alabang bound for Pasay, Makati, Manila, and Quezon City should enter at SLEX Filinvest southbound entry, exit at Susana Heights, make a U-turn, then enter at Susana Heights northbound entry to access the Skyway Extension ramp at Soldiers’ Hills. – Christian Imperio
