The Binondo – Intramuros Bridge Project of the Department of Public Works and Highway (DPWH) in Manila is nearly finished at 90 percent and expected to open to vehicular traffic by Holy Week this year.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Roger G. Mercado, Undersecretary and Build Build Build (BBB) Chief Implementer Emil K. Sadain said that the 680 meters bridge project across Pasig River is pretty much finished with the main bridge itself having two (2) lanes in each direction complete.
Undersecretary Sadain, in-charge of the Unified Project Management Office (UPMO) Operations, with UPMO Project Directors Benjamin A. Bautista, Sharif Madsmo H. Hasim, Ramon A. Arriola III, Rodrigo Delos Reyes, and Johnson Domingo; and Project Manager Mechor Kabiling conducted rigorous inspection from Intramuros to Binondo on Monday, January 24, 2022 to make sure that the project is done to the standards that are laid out in the contract.
Equipment and crews are in the process of constructing access ramps made of prefabricated components from Shanghai, China at the Binondo side with an up-ramp located at Muelle dela Industria Street and down-ramps at Rentas Street and Plaza del Conde Street. Simultaneously, construction of ramps at Intramuros side is on-going with up-ramp at Riverside Drive and down-ramp at Solana street.
The %u20B13.39 Billion project is financed by a government aid grant from the Peopleâs Republic of China.
We are grateful to the men and women who worked so hard to build this bridge and thank the government of China and its contractor China Road and Bridge Corporation for their commitment to this project, added Undersecretary Sadain. (Real Estate News PH)
