MOTORISTS and commuters were told on Tuesday to brace for heavy traffic for the closing ceremony of the 30th Southeast Asian (SEA) Games on Wednesday, December 11.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said at least 114 buses and other types of vehicles bearing SEA Games delegates will travel from different billeting hotels around Metro Manila en route to New Clark Athletic Stadium after lunch time.
The convoys will use the yellow lane and inserts toward the flyover, and tunnel/underpass while traveling along Edsa. Motorists are advised to avoid the yellow lane and give way to the convoy.
Traffic personnel are also positioned in key areas in the metropolis to guide motorists and facilitate the movement of the convoy.
Since SEA Games started on November 30, stop-and-go traffic scheme had been implemented on Edsa, Roxas Boulevard, Quezon Avenue, and other thoroughfares in Metro Manila that allowed convoys of athletes, sports officials, and other guests to pass through.
