Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, together with Taguig City Mayor Laarni “Lani” Cayetano, DOTr Secretary Arthur Tugade, BCDA President Vince Dizon held the opening of an additional two (2) lanes for the Napindan Bridge II in Taguig City.
“As we finish with the construction of the Napindan Bridge II, we will further reduce the travel time from Bicutan to Taytay and vice versa,” Villar said.
The Napindan Bridge II is a 152-lineal meter pre-stressed girder bridge which is part of the Laguna Lake Highway Project, Taguig section. The bridge construction is composed of concrete board piles for piers, slabs, railings, retaining walls and stone masonry for approaches. In addition, thermoplastic pavement marking have also been incorporated in the project.
“Before its construction, there were only two (2) lanes available for road travel. The Laguna Lake Highway will now be enhanced by converting its two lane sections into a homogenous four lane highway with two road lanes available for each direction,” Villar added.
The bridge will connect along the river boundaries of Taguig and Pateros and is set to further reduce the traffic congestion along major roads like EDSA and C5.
