The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) yesterday committed to open by January the 9.7-kilometer Radial Road 10 (R-10) as an alternative route to EDSA and Circumferential Road 5 (C-5) for motorist traveling from Quezon City to Manila and Pasay.
R-10 stretches from Delpan Bridge, Tondo, Manila to the mouth of the Malabon River at Bangkulasi Bridge, C-4 Road in Navotas City.
In a statement, Mark Villar, DPWH secretary, said after six presidents, the agency has resumed construction works for the full completion, upgrading and widening of the remaining section of R-10 particularly Pacheco, Tondo area.
“We have completed the clearing of illegal structures along the road right-of-way,” Villar said.
Following the resumption of the construction last week, DPWH expects R-10 to be completed and opened to the public before the end of January next year.
“R10 is an alternate route to EDSA via Bonifacio Drive and Roxas Boulevard in travelling from north to south and vice versa,” Villar said.
“The Bangkulasi Bridge at the end of C-4 in Navotas City has also been recently opened following the relocation of informal settler families previously occupying the foot of the bridge,” he added.
Villar said the project will not only ease traffic congestion but also enhance economic efficiency and competitiveness of the export industry by providing faster and more reliable freight movement.
DPWH has five major projects in the pipeline:the Sta. Monica-Lawton-BGC Link Road, UP-Miriam-Ateneo Viaduct, North Luzon Expressway (NLEX)-South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) Connector Road, Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros-Cebu Link Bridge and the Davao City Bypass Construction project.
Of these, the Sta. Monica-Lawton-BGC Link Road, UP-Miriam-Ateneo Viaduct and the NLEX-SLEX Connector Roadare expected to start construction next year.
