A sight of relief to people commuting along the Ban-Tal (Banilad-Talamban) area which of late has become a sign of the worsening traffic condition Cebu City has ever faced. Construction of an overpass along the Ban-Tal area is underway, thanks mainly to the government's strong move to put the project in place. Earlier, the project was a subject of resistance and objections among the business sectors and affluent residential communities in the area. Their objections were based on the possible impact of the project that it could shun consumers and potential costumers away from shopping in the area, particularly the Banilad Town Center.All said and done, the Ban-Tal overpass project will benefit the majority of commuters, specially a thousand of workers and students coming from the upper Talamban who have to beat the morning and evening rush.

The landowners in the area were offering huge discounts for the city to simply buy their land and widen the roads. Overpasses are ugly and expensive, it doesn't make sense why jackass Osmeña outright refused to accept the road widening offer.
