Latest updates about Iloilo Boulevard

Project Details: Inspired from the Baywalk concept along Roxas Boulevard in Manila, Iloilo will be having it’s own 8km “Iloilo Boulevard” constructed, which will start from the back of Gaisano City in La Paz all the way to the New Carpenters Bridge in Brgy. Tabucan, Mandurriao

The Iloilo Boulevard also includes the construction of a riverside promenade along its length. The project seeks to revive the beauty and wealth of the Iloilo River, which is why Mayor Jerry Trenas has assured that the 3,000 mangrove trees growing at the bank of the river will be preserved.

The components of the project were once part of part of the Jalandoni Bridge Project and the Iloilo River Rehabilitation Project (IRRP). Later, it was included as components of the Iloilo Flood Control Project. The “Iloilo Boulevard” is listed under the medium-term development plans of the Iloilo City Government and will most probably be completed in 2010-2013.

    I Agree with Jeff, It’s a beautiful project. But before they go on with this. Why wouldn’t they fix the current problems first. Like Poor and Narrow roads that cause traffic jams, proper routing of passenger vehicles, Illegal squatters, proper garbage collection and disposal, Power failures. etc….

    Iloilo will grow and prosper more as a prime city if all these exixsting issues be resolved.

    God Bless Iloilo!!!

    Wow! Good to hear this. This proposal will add up as one of the tourist attractions of Iloilo City. Also we need road widening all over. Maintenance of the beautification and cleanliness in the City of Iloilo is a must.

    I home it turns out well (unlike the riverside promenade and the night market along Muelle Loney that was a major bust). Iloilo will have a more metropolitan feel by then
