MANILA โ€“ San Juan City Mayor Francis Zamora on Monday said the opening of the Greenhills-West Crame connector road is expected to ease vehicular traffic in the city.

The new connector road is located near Eisenhower St. in Barangay Greenhills near Club Filipino, formerly a dead-end street.

The road connects a portion of Barangay Greenhills and 3rd St. to Barangay West Crame on the Boni Serrano exit, behind Camp Crame.

โ€œMakatutulong ang pagbubukas ng nasabing lansangan upang maibsan ang mabigat na daloy ng trapiko sa lungsod [The roadโ€™s opening would help ease the heavy traffic in the city],โ€ he said in an interview.

Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Romando Artes said the road would also serve as a โ€˜Mabuhay laneโ€™ or a road that will serve as an alternate route to Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA).

He emphasized that the Greenhills-West Crame connector road will be a โ€˜no parking zoneโ€™ and that San Juan Cityโ€™s wheel-clamping ordinance will be strictly enforced to ensure smooth traffic flow.

During the event, Zamora also led the unveiling of the Wilson e-trike system, which aims to serve as an alternative and eco-friendly public transport system. (PNA)
