📋 Tender Overview
The foundations for a flyover at the crossing of Plaridel Bypass Road and General Alejo Santos Highway in Bustos are underway. According to Mark Lester Castro of the First Bulacan Engineering District of the Department of Public Works and Highways DPWH an initial 70 million pesos was allocated to the four-line flyover project. The first two lines are set to be completed by the next 270 days or August in 2020. Thereafter the next two lines of the Bustos flyover will be completed in early 2021. The flyover will be positioned parallel to the direction of Plaridel Bypass Road. That is vehicles passing along Plaridel Bypass Road to San Rafael on the northbound or back to the Balagtas Exit of the North Central Expressway or NLEX on the southbound will be flown over the flyover. Beneath the vehicles passing the General Alejo Santos Highway. These are the vehicles going to Angat and World Remedios Trinidad east or eastbound and to the Bustos and Baliwag neighborhoods west or westbound. Castro said he is currently experiencing severe traffic congestion on this side of Plaridel Bypass Road and the corner of General Alejo Santos Highway. He also lost track of the passing of Plaridel Bypass Road due to heavy traffic when arriving in this part of Bustos. Thus the DPWH First Bulacan Engineering District notified motorists that the traffic flow on Plaridel Bypass Road would be moderate-to-heavy. The two southbound lane or the NLEX exit lane will be made unified first. This is to allow flyover construction to be started on the northbound lane or the direction to San Rafael.
