The nearest mapper in the area is BlueArrow ( http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/BlueArrow ). Maybe he can map/verify the said area.

Tony Montana: Me, I want what's coming to me.
Manny Ribera: Oh, well what's coming to you?
Tony Montana: The world, chico, and everything in it.

hi Eric,

yes, i've heard of all those "praise releases" but there's really the skeptic in me.
LRT Munoz station was bannered to be finished last January, then moved to March 25, then a few weeks later there's another "praise release" by GMA minions that the line's ok from baclaran to North Avenue and yet the station's not yet finished up to now and causing horrendous traffic even at 12mn on a weekend


anyway, when i passed by Mindanao avenue there were many vehicles coming out of the tunnel which is is really unusual if it's still closed. Though Balintawak is just 5 minutes away from me (or much more during heavy traffic of course), this link will surely decongest the balintawak tollway. Mindanao avenue is a motorist's dream road, wide and not much traffic...unlike almost every other road there is in the metro


I don't have immediate plans of driving/going up north so I still can't verify and update our map

cheers!

There are signs along NLEX southbound that indicate that the Mindanao

Ave. link is now open. I was unable to try it but here are news

reports that it is operational (well, inaugurated.). There was talk

among motorists on the way back to Metro Manila about it being open,

but no verified anecdotes.
