A PARTIAL re-routing of traffic will be implemented starting 4PM today for the WBA superflyweight showdown between AJ Banal and Panama's Rafael Concepcion.This was confirmed yesterday by ALA Promotions marketing manager Chad Canares, who said that as early as 3PM, the Cebu City government will start deploying traffic enforcers to implement the re-routing. The segment of Sanciangko Street across the main gate of the New Cebu Coliseum, from the junction of Leon Kilat Street to the corner of Borromeo Street, will be closed for use as parking space for motorists who will be watching the fights. The opposing lanes in this segment will be fully used for vehicle parking. All vehicles passing through this segment will be re-directed to take the Leon Kilat Street towards Colon Street, which will remain open for traffic and unavailable for parking. The portion of Borromeo Street, from the Colon-Leon Kilat junction to the Climaco junction will also be closed to traffic. A single-lane parking alongside the New Cebu Coliseum block will be reserved for ticket holders. ALA Promotions thanks Cebu City Councilor Jack Jakosalem, traffic group chief P/Supt Jonathan Abella, Citom chief Arnel Tancinco, and mobile patrol and SWAT EOD police chief inspector Arnel Banzon.
