NAGPAALALA kahapon ang Palasyo sa publiko kaugnay ng ipapatupad na traffic rerouting sa Metro Manila mula Nobyembre 16 hanggang 20 sa harap naman ng gaganaping Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
Sinabi ni Presidential Spokesperson Edwin Lacierda na nagpalabas na ng mga special APEC lanes sa kahabaan ng EDSA at Roxas Boulevard para sa APEC.
“For EDSA, only APEC vehicles will be allowed on the innermost two lanes of both the northbound and southbound sides. All other lanes, however, will remain open for non-APEC vehicles. For Roxas Boulevard, only APEC vehicles will be allowed on the southbound side, while the entire northbound side—which will be made two-way—will remain open for non-APEC vehicles,” sabi ni Lacierda.
Idinagdag ni Lacierda na ilang kalsada rin sa palibot ng CCP Complex Area at MOA Arena Area ang isasara sa trapik.
“In addition, from November 16 to 20, there will be a daytime truck ban along the South Truck Route. Trucks will only be allowed to use the route from 10 pm to 6 am. Roxas Boulevard, however, will remain under a 24-hour truck ban,” ayon kay Lacierda.
Ayon pa kay Lacierda, magpapatupad din ng no-fly zone sa lahat ng terminal sa Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) mula Nobyembre 17, 19, at 20.
“We are hoping for the public’s understanding. These changes are necessary to ensure the security of our APEC visitors, and to decongest their routes as they travel between venues,” sabi ni Lacierda.
Sinabi ni Lacierda na magbebenepisyo ang Pilipinas sa gaganaping APEC sa bansa.
