LAOAG CITY- The Laoag city government is eyeing to establish by-pass roads to ease traffic flow in the city’s business district. | |||
According to Laoag Mayor Michael Fariñas, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has already approved the road project amounting to P100 million which is set for construction in 2012. | |||
Before the project starts, the city government will have to conduct a study to determine the areas where the road will traverse. | |||
Initially, the by-pass road will cover Bacarra road, Vintar road and the Laoag City public market area, which are all considered main arteries to downtown Laoag. | |||
The DPWH will then submit a report to Department of Budget and Management for the release of the fund. | |||
Farinas said the bypass road will ease traffic woes and ensure the residents’ safety and security. “On top of fixing traffic woes, the bypass road will also minimize road accidents,” he said. | |||
Traffic in the city’ business district has become tight due to growing business activities in the area. | |||
In Barangay Nangalisan leading to Robinsons Mall, for example, traffic has become heavier even during off peak rush hours due to the volume of vehicles that enter and exit the mall compound. | |||
The city government also expects the same scenario once the SM Savemore supermart begins its business operation in the city’s central downtown area. | |||
The SM mall will reportedly break ground before the year ends. | |||
