Despite rush hour usually varying between the hours of 5pm and 7pm on weekdays, it seems like the situation is already boiling over today, and commuters are far from ecstatic.

Irate drivers have taken to facebook to air their frustrations about the situation, with several commenting that exorbitant commute times are unfortunately a common occurrence in the vicinities.

Do you think the flyover will alleviate the traffic situation?
