CLARK FREEPORT -- A six-kilometer vital road project worth P173-million, which is expected to ease traffic congestion in the cities of Angeles and Mabalacat, is nearing completion, an official of Clark Development Corporation (CDC) recently said.
Alveen Tabag, CDC vice-president for Engineering Services, said the construction of the Mabalacat Clark East Perimeter Road is ahead of schedule.
The CDC official announced this during the program “Clark in Focus” aired over CLTV 36. The project will be completed on June 2016, he said,
Once completed, the interconnecting route from Mabalacat gate to Balibago in Angeles City along the east perimeter fence of this Freeport would help ease traffic flow in the two cities and reduce the travel time of motorists.
The CDC is funding the project as part of the agency’s parallel development programs to spur progress in contiguous communities.
Package I of the project is being undertaken by the construction firm of BS Ponio and Company, Inc. It includes a 940-meter wide two lane road, shoulder, street lights and 60 meters two lane steel bridge.
Constructing the second package is the Haidee Construction and Development Corporation. The package include a 4,500-meter with two lane road, shoulder, street lights, 427.47 meters four lane road with sidewalk, street lights, and two traffic lights.
The total length of the project is 5,927.47 linear meters or about six kilometers.
Mabalacat City Mayor Marino Morales expressed gratitude to CDC officials for giving this project a priority.
“Once na magawa yun, there will be another access or alternative to and from Clark and then onto Subic, Manila and other areas. Lalong magiging progresibo ang northern part ng Mabalacat,” Morales said.
