SMC Tollways appeals for understanding amid SLEX gridlock, ongoing construction
MANILA, Philippines — San Miguel Corporation Tollways on Wednesday sought for public’s understanding amid the heavy traffic being experienced along South Luzon Expressway.
Hashtag "#SLEX" trended Wednesday as several commuters and motorists took to Twitter to complain about the current traffic jam in the area.
SLEX reported heavy traffic in Alabang Viaduct northbound due to the ongoing Skyway extension project.
“Hinihingi po naming ang inyong pang unawa. Ang proyekto na ito ay para sa kapakanan nating lahat. Konting tiis lang po. Sa pagtatapos ng proyekto ito, higit pong giginhawa ang daloy ng trapiko,” SMC Tollways said in a statement.
(We ask for your understanding. This project is for the benefit of everyone. Just bear with us for a little bit. After completion of project, we will have a smooth traffic flow.)
“Ginagawa po naming ang lahat upang matapos ang construction sa lalong madaling panahon,” it added.
