THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is looking to start this year the construction of 8.35 kilometers of the 11.5-kilometer NLEx “Segment 8.2” project linking C.P. Garcia Avenue in Diliman, Quezon City to Segment 8.1 at Mindanao Avenue in Novaliches, Quezon City.
“Definitely we’re gonna start it this year, and hopefully we get a significant accomplishment before the end of the term of the President,” DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar said last week on the sidelines of the final inspection of the Malabon Exit of the 2.6-kilometer C3-R10 Section of the NLEx Harbor Link Segment 10. He said the government is currently working on the right-of-way (ROW) for the P7.48-billion project.
Mr. Villar said further that the government faces several challenges in acquiring the ROWs as various families will be affected. “Kailangan bigyan ng housing (We need to provide housing for these families). At this point, nakikipag-coordinate kami sa NHA (we are coordinating with the National Housing Authority),” he said. — Arjay L. Balinbin
