The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced that the construction works for a new flyover in Pilar, Bataan have begun.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Where in Pilar, Bataan will the new flyover be constructed?

    The new infrastructure will be put up at Ala-uli in Pilar, Bataan.
  • How long is the construction period for the soon-to-rise flyover?

    The project is targeted to be completed in 18 months.
  • In a statement, DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil Sadain said that sub-structure works are on-going for the creation of the four-lane Ala-Uli Steel Flyover that is set to ease traffic congestion at the intersection of Governor J.J. Linao National Road and Roman Superhighway (formerly Bataan Provincial Highway).

    Known as one of the priority projects under the Mega Bridges for Urban and Rural Development Project (MBURDP), the soon-to-rise Ala-Uli Steel Flyover involves the construction and installation of 17.3-meter wide and 607.750-meter long flyover (which consists of 195.59-meter modular steel flyover, 80-meter transition road on both ends, as well as a 124.612-meter road Approach A and 126.269-meter road Approach B.

    According to Sadain, the increasing number of vehicles going to Bataan Province — home to a special economic zone and freeport in Central Luzon that provides employment opportunities — led to more pressure on existing road infrastructure there.

    Targeted to be completed within a construction period of 18 months, the flyover is aimed at improving the transport of goods and local products and is expected to further boost the economic potential of the province.

    “Smoother flow of traffic will also encourage people to visit various tourism destinations of the province that have created livelihood opportunities to the residents,” the DPWH shared in a statement.

    The construction of the flyover is covered by a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the DPWH Bridges Management Cluster-Unified Project Management Office (DPWH-BMC-UPMO), DPWH Regional Office 3 with Bataan 2nd District Engineering Office and the Provincial Government of Bataan together with the Municipal Government of Pilar (LGU).

    Under the aforementioned agreement, the DPWH-BMC-UPMO will provide the French-supplied superstructure materials of the flyover and download the available funds to the DPWH Regional Office 3 that will procure the services of a contractor to undertake the construction of the two abutments of the flyover, concrete pavement and slope protection for each approach of the flyover and launch/install the bridge superstructure.

    The DPWH Regional Office 3, being the implementing unit, has to ensure that the contractor will use only the specified materials, which complies with the existing standards for the construction and safety.

    Meanwhile, the Provincial Government and LGU will be responsible for the acquisition, payment, clearing of road right of way, access road and the like for the project, and the preparation of traffic management and rerouting plan including the enforcement of the same.
