Iloilo’s first flyover to be completed in October 2007

Iloilo’s first flyover, the Infante flyover, is nearing its completion. Located at the intersection of General Luna and Infante Sts., the flyover is meant to help ease the traffic problem in this part of the city.
The flyover was slated to be completed by the end of September but unfortunately it was moved to early October due to persistent rainfall. Left unfinished are the concrete “ramps” of both approaches of the flyover and the road widening at its sides.
A concern that was brought up recently was the absence of street lights in the planning of the flyover. Fortunately, Globe Telecom has offered to provide the lighting for the project.
The Infante flyover is reported to cost P400M. The money will not come from the city’s coffers since it is part of the nationally-funded “Bridge Program” of the President, which aims to build similar flyovers all around the country. After the completion of the Infante flyover, another flyover (also included under the “President’s Bridge Program”) will also be built along Diversion Road in Mandurriao.

replyyou’re right bob. i have this nostalgic feeling everytime i pass that road. i like the trees on its island and how they construct the road. it’s not like one of the road that’s being constructed nowadays. most new constructin easily creates pot holes and cracks.
replyI’m not sure how General Luna Street came about. It’s a beautifully-designed boulevard with a tree-studded, landscaped median island, wide verges and good pedestrian-friendly sidewalks. General Luna gives Iloilo a wonderful graciousness that is lacking in so many Philippine cities. It’s one of Iloilo City’s great assets. The Infante flyover is a horrible, ugly monstrosity desecrating the boulevard. Now even the verges separating the road from the sidewalks are being torn up. Now I read that a Jalandoni flyover is planned. That should complete the destruction of Gen. Luna. Very sad.
replywell wait and c. i think this project not only will help us w/ d traffic but also ang bulsa sang aton mga sungak2 kag buy onan nga govt official.
replyWell, the flyover isn’t finished. It is expected that the traffic situation right now will be worse because the fly over is impassable yet. I don’t think they will not allow public PUJ to passover the flyover, it would defeat the purpose of building the flyover in the first place.
replycongrats sa mga kasimanwa ko regarding fly over.material fr.uk.oks.na oks.
replybasta may project may kwarta, so it doesnt matter kon its well planned or not.
replyJust returned from Iloilo 9/26/07. Although well intended, the flyover currently appears to be poorly planned and further contributes to traffic congestion in the immediate area. I heard the flyover is supposedly going to be used for PRIVATE vehicles leaving ALL public utility vehicles to funnel through single lanes (travelling towards Iloilo City and Molo). At this time, jeepneys are stopping in the single lanes to pickup passengers creating serious traffic concerns and vehicles are driving on the sidewalks (there are no shoulders) to get around traffic. The City really needs to address this problem and conduct traffic studies prior to the completion of this project. Also has anyone considered the drainage/flooding problems in the area?
replymayo ma na ang nurse ta padala ta sa uk kag ang steel nla padala sa aton. nice deal.
