Public Works and Highways Acting Secretary Roger Mercado inspected the construction of a flyover along Friendship Circumferential Road in Angeles City.

According to a Sun Star Pampanga report, this is a four-lane viaduct project implemented by Pampanga’s third district engineering office.

Mercado instructed the inclusion in the proposed 2023 budget the necessary funding allocation to complete the project.

“Decisions are best made if you really get to know and feel the situation in the field,” the official said.

The construction of the 700 meter-flyover including approaches is seen to ease the bottleneck at the intersection of Porac-Angeles Road and Friendship Highway.

DPWH Regional Director Roseller Tolentino said this would reduce to 20 minutes the travel time from barangay Telabastagan in the City of San Fernando to Clark Freeport Zone via Friendship Highway.
