Tuesday, August 28, 2007 Flyover funding comes from UK
THE construction of flyovers at the junctions of Lacson-Burgos Streets and Lacson Street - B.S. Aquino Drive would be undertaken by the Bridge Program Office of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, with funding coming from the United Kingdom concessional loan assistance program.
Bacolod Representative Monico Puentevella said Monday the construction will be implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways. The flyovers would be constructed five to six months from now, he added.
Puentevella discussed the flyover project with President Arroyo during the latter’s trip to England. It was decided there that the funding for the projects would come from the English government, he added.
“In that meeting, I was able to meet the English contractor who laid the groundwork for the two flyover projects,” Puentevella said
The flyover project will be constructed at Bacolod’s busiest intersection. (JSG)
