Stupidity is spelled as P-N-C-C

I just got home from work and I am in a foul mood because of the traffic, or should I say HORRIBLE traffic because of the amazing intelligence and planning (with GREAT sarcasm!) of the people who manage the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), the Philippine National Construction Corporation. Why say such a statement about them? Picture this scenario, PNCC is in the process of fixing the connecting ramps for the Skyway near Magallanes and of course they are going to affect both lanes since the ramp from the Villamor Airbase is going to cross the SLEX so they have to build a column in between. It is very much understandable to motorists using SLEX that the area would be a traffic bottleneck because they are going to use a lane or to for their construction materials. What's so stupid about that you say? Someone VERY SMART from the PNCC decided to close all the lanes going south! Meaning, people going to Bicutan would have to detour and pass through the service road. I would also like to add that going through the service road is like going through a dirt road because of the infinite number of pot holes and uneven asphalt! The dirt road going to the beaches in Laiya, Batangas feels smoother compared to the service road in SLEX! I left the office at 5:15AM and I got home at around 6:30AM. A normal 20-minute trip turned into a 1-hour and 15-minute trip! &$*(#&q)*($&#)(*&$)(*@&)(*#$)(*#^$*&#@)(&*)@&$)(#@)*(^)#@^!!!!!!!!! ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!

Do not get me wrong, I am not against road construction and improvements because this is an important component for growth. I also would not have minded closing all of the lanes going south if it were done during the wee hours of the morning plus some early warning devices or if they distributed flyers or even post simple notices on their toll plazas to inform motorists ahead of time, then this would have been easily avoided. But then again, thanks to the BRILLIANT minds of the people in PNCC, people had to go through the traffic jam they created. True, sacrifices are to be made in order to improve but this is one sacrifice that SLEX motorists could have dodged if people only flexed a little more muscle. Hopefully, this incident could be avoided moving forward.
