(SPOT.ph) In a bid to ease road congestion in one of Metro Manila’s busiest districts, a new traffic scheme will be implemented along ADB Avenue in Ortigas Center starting on the fourth week of September.
The trial run will encompass two lanes per bound on the stretch from J. Vargas to Ortigas Avenue along ADB Avenue. The move comes in preparation for the Active Transport Project planned within the area.
