BAGUIO CITY, March 27 – Mayor Mauricio Domogan welcomed the planned construction of another flyover this time to be built within the junction of the Bokawkan Road and Naguilian Road saying this would definitely help improve the traffic situation in the area which has been a perennial bottleneck.
The mayor still has to see the plan but said he trusts the judgment of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on the project.
The DPWH reportedly wrapped up studies for the new flyover project which would be the third of such kind in the city.
“We have to see the proposals first but we welcome such opportunity for our city. We have a problem to address which is the traffic congestions being experienced on a daily basis and this infrastructure is an opportunity for us to solve the said problem,” he said.
Anticipating opposition to the project, the mayor said people should consider the benefits that the infrastructure would give the majority.
“If the benefits would be much greater than the disadvantages, then by all means let us consider this,” the mayor appealed.
The DPWH first planned the flyover project a few years ago but plans shifted to an underpass facility instead. It was eventually scrapped due to unresolved feasibility questions.
