+ March 07, 2021 THE widening of the 2.22-kilometer portion of the 24.61-kilometer Arterial (Plaridel) Bypass Road in the Province of Bulacan is almost complete, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said.
The new four-lane road is expected to resolve the slow traffic movement due to increasing volume of vehicles utilizing the existing two-way-two-lane bypass road that connects North Luzon Expressway in Barangay Burol, Balagtas with Daang Maharlika Highway in Barangay Maasim, San Rafael.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar, Undersecretary for Unified Project Management Office (UPMO) Operations Emil K. Sadain said the widening of the 1.063-kilometer road and construction of two two-lane bridges adjacent to existing bridge, namely, 1.121-km Angat Bridge (Bridge No. 8) and 40.86 linear meter Bridge No. 9 under Contract Package 3 of the Arterial (Plaridel) Bypass Road Phase 3, will be fully completed by end of March 2021.
