Motorists irked by traffic jams

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Motorists plying the stretch of Jose Abad Santos Avenue (JASA) in this city are disappointed by the daily heavy build-up of traffic in one of the province’s most important gateway.

The heavy traffic, starting early morning, is a result of three ongoing works – the Lazatin Flyover in the intersection of JASA; the pedestrian footbridge at Barangay Dolores; and road improvements between SM City Pampanga and Robinsons Starmills in Barangay San Jose – being done by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).Motorists reached by Sun.Star Pampanga Thursday including Artemio Ocampo from Guagua and Luis Borromeo from San Fernando said they were irked by the construction works and the ensuing traffic jams that cause delays in trips and inconvenience to passengers.

“Parang wrong timing yata itong ginagawa nila. Sana pagkatapos na lang ng Holy Week nila inumpisahan dahil maraming papunta ng Subic at Bataan at pabalik ng Manila. Araw-araw ganito, eh. Nadi-delay ang biyahe umpisa ng madaling araw. Iyun aming alternate routes ay malayo. Iyung mga bus at truck hindi naman puwedeng pumasok sa mga daan sa loob ng San Fernando. Sana ay ayusin nila,” Ocampo, a public utility van driver, said.

Borromeo, a salesman, added: “It’s annoying. We understand that works have to done along this OG Road (former Gapan-San Fernando-Olongapo Road, now JASA). Pero sana pinaghandaan. This is my regular route every day. But 30 to 45 minutes of delay is a big factor in my work. Iyung iba na hindi familiar with the alternate routes, naliligaw. Just imagine kung gaano kahaba itong traffic from NLEx (North Luzon Expressway) exit at pabalik. At malakas sa gas ha? Ang mahal pa naman ng gasoline ngayon. I hope they could finish the works on time so traffic could normalize.”

Pines Pineda of the City Traffic Management Division (CTMD), in an interview, disclosed that the City Government is doing all it can to address the problem.

“Even if these are national projects, we are doing all we can to ease traffic along JASA. We have sufficient traffic enforcers and aides assisting personnel from DPWH. We have also posted advisories on alternate routes,” Pineda said.

Pineda identified the alternate routes for motorists.

“For the Lazatin Flyover construction, all vehicles from the east (Zambales/Olongapo) are advised to take SCTEX (Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway); east-to-west-bound vehicles, take Guagua/Bacolor leading to San Fernando; for east to west, motorists may take San Vicente, Mega Dike, Palawe, access road at Central Terminal; and from west to east, motorists can use the JASA flyover, the Manila North Road, then Barangay Del Rosario, Mega Dike or take the High School Boulevard in Teopaco, out towards Capitol Boulevard and use both outer lanes of the road,” Pineda said.Place to go during Holy Week in Philippines is Clearwater Resort in Clark Pampanga near Manila where there are plenty of things to do during Easter Holidays and throughout the whole summer too.
