DPWH opens Circulo Del Mundo bypass road to ease traffic around NAIA

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Friday opened the Circulo Del Mundo bypass road in Pasay City.

In a statement, DPWH Secretary Mark Villar announced the opening of the bypass road on "the first minute of December 30." 

“Circulo Del Mundo Bypass road is a 125 lineal meter bypass road which will further reduce traffic congestion around the vicinity of Ninoy Aquino International Airport  (NAIA) Terminal 3. It will be open to the public by 12:01 of December 30,” Villar said.

“This is a dedicated lane for motorists coming from Sales Avenue to NAIA Terminal 3,” he said.

The Circulo Del Mundo bypass road is expected to complement the NAIA Expressway Christmas Lane and the existing NAIA expressway road network, which already connected Macapagal Boulevard and PAGCOR Entertainment City to NAIA Terminals 1, 2, and 3, Skyway and Cavitex.

“We expect a surge of passengers using our airports during the holiday season. The opening of the Circulo Del Mundo bypass road is expected to reduce traffic to NAIA 3 to about 40 percent,” the Cabinet official said.

“We have maintained 24/7 operations in the area to meet our project deadline. We will continue to do so until the project is completed,” he added. —John Ted Cordero/KG, GMA News
