Motorists going to Batasan and San Mateo, Rizal, can soon expect faster trips with the significant progress of the 3.38-kilometer Katipunan Avenue Extension project in Quezon City.
During his inspection, Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark A. Villar expressed optimism that the project will soon be able to cater to the increasing demand for alternate route from Katipunan to Barangay Batasan Hills and towards the Province of Rizal to ease the traffic situation at Katipunan and Commonwealth Avenues in Quezon City.
“We are fast-tracking the construction of Phases 1 and 2 from Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System [MWSS] Property and Government Service Insurance System [GSIS] Properties to Vista Real Subdivision which are now 60 percent and 90 percent complete, respectively,” said Villar.
According to DPWH Quezon City First District Engineer Loida S. Busa, they have already delivered the 800-meter road extension under Phase 3 and the 22.50-meter permanent bridge along Vista Real Classica Subdivision at Barangay Batasan Hills, QC.
“DPWH, through the administration’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ program, is targeting the completion of this project this 2021 to enable more convenient travels and stimulate the economy,” Villar added.
