The remaining bridge segment along the 17-kilometer Alae-Phividec Bypass Road could be opened to traffic soon in time for the holidays. Sources onsite revealed only the asphalt overlay component remains which is set to be implemented this weekend. When completed, the Alae-Phividec Bypass Road will divert traffic along the busy Sayre Highway, Puerto-Alae Section. It will also serve as an alternate road towards Mindanao Container Terminal (MCT) in Tagoloan where cargo trucks coming from Bukidnon will be catered directly. Meanwhile, several motorists are asking if the “toll fee” being required by some individuals near MCT will be discontinued once it will be opened to traffic.
Keep posted.
