DPWH: P430-M Quezon Avenue underpass to be completed by Friday

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) announced that the P430-M underpass project along Quezon Avenue crossing C-3 Road (G. Araneta Avenue) in Quezon City will be finished this week.

 

“Actually, it is already finished. Our tentative schedule for full completion is by Friday,” DPWH Regional Operations Undersecretary Romeo Momo said.

 

Construction of the C-3-Quezon Avenue Interchange Project, which covers 440 lineal meters and 330 lineal meters in both directions, was started in June 2011 by contractor Ciriaco Corp. 

 

The project also called for the construction of an overpass along C-3 Road, running 75 meters and with a width of 18.5 meters.

 

Momo said the underpass will be opened to vehicular traffic as soon as “corrections” are finished this week.

 

The underpass construction has caused heavy traffic on Quezon Avenue and C-3 Roads since the project was started.

 

Partial opening of the northbound and southbound lanes have eased traffic in the area recently.

 

Traffic is expected to flow smoothly from EDSA, Aurora Boulevard, and España Boulevard once the project is completed. –KG, GMA News
