“By yearend the Buhang flyover in Jaro, Iloilo City would be substantially completed and made passable to vehicular traffic,” District Engineer (DE) Cesar Hipona told HilwayNews over the weekend.
Construction of the P380 million road flyover structure started in 2019 and implemented through “multi-year progressive funding”, explained DE Hipona.
He said an additional P100 million budget for road concreting in the flyover site has been appropriated to complete the project.
