Mandaue City Planning and Development Office (CPDO) head Architect Florentino Nimor said that if possible the project should be done after the two big events to avoid more traffic congestion in the city.

The upgrading works of A. Sorinao is expected to start this month.

But Antigua said if the project will be push through this month, the city will have to divert the traffic flow in the area.

The city is also considering to impose truck ban on A. Soriano Ave.

Marie Nillama, PIO officer and spokesperson of DPWH 7, said that the request of Mandaue City will be forwarded to their head office for proper action.
