Jalandoni Flyover Construction Update – 4/10

Marcos — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 04:00:00 +0000

Taking advantage of the dry season, the construction of the Jalandoni Flyover, Iloilo City’s second vehicular flyover, is gearing in full throttle. Since the project started, the traffic flow in the area has been very bad, almost unbearable during rush hour coupled with the full effect of the summer heat. There was a slight improvement after they finished improving (not widening) the street portions at the sides of the flyover (one lane per way). The new flyover is located at the intersection of General Luna and Jalandoni Sts. (near University of San Agustin) in Downtown, Iloilo City.
