Well, looks like the Cebu City government is serious about making life difficult for motorists and commuters with the Banilad-Talamban fly-over. One of two south-bound lanes of Governor Cuenco Avenue is now closed to traffic starting past 9 a.m. until past 6 p.m. causing a buildup of traffic in the area. And why wouldn't it when more than 7,000 vehicles go down that route every single day. To update you with the Banilad Talamban fly-over construction details from Cebu Daily News:

Engineers of WTG Construction are implementing a gradual closure of the roads in the area where the Barangay (village) Banilad flyover project is being constructed.

Engineer Meo Daan, one of the WTG Construction's site engineers, told Cebu Daily News on Tuesday that they are implementing a gradual closure on the road so that the motorists will not be severely affected.

Daan said that when the pile driving or actual works on the foot foundation will start, the two outer lanes of the entire 390 meter stretch will be closed.

He also said that other heavy equipment, such as the backhoes, dump trucks and cranes, will occupy the inner lanes, prompting them to close two lanes of the four-lane Governor Cuenco Avenue.

It's an agonizing drive going to and from the office right now. My office is in Mandaue and I live in Cebu so sometimes I just have to pass there and it is inconceivably slow and stupid how we are painfully being forced to endure long hours on the road and hideous traffic.
