00:00Southbound of Kamuling Flyover will open again on the traffic lane after a few months of repair.
00:05Ryan Leziga is live in the report.
00:12Actually Diane, the repair of Kamuling Flyover is not yet done
00:17because according to DPWH, the completion rate of this line is only at 30%.
00:24But because the repair of the deck slab is already done,
00:30it was opened today after a few months of closure.
00:34It's two months earlier than the original target date.
00:41The MMDI has already removed the tiles at the foot of Kamuling Footbridge.
00:46They also removed the concrete and orange barriers that serve as traffic guides for the motorists.
00:52Today, the Kamuling Flyover was reopened to the motorists.
00:56It's two months earlier than the original target date of the opening of the bridge in October.
01:02According to DPWH, the repair of the deck slab or the place where the vehicles pass through
01:10is already done so that it can be opened to the motorists.
01:13The heavy rainfall was not affected by their work
01:17so that the repair of the bridge was done quickly.
01:21Now, at 6 in the morning, we will open this bridge so that our countrymen can pass through.
01:30This shows that with the cooperation of everyone,
01:34with the help of the government agencies,
01:37we will be able to implement this kind of project
01:41that will give security to our countrymen.
01:46But the repair of the lower part of the flyover is not yet done.
01:51It will take a long time, until March 2025.
01:53Despite this, the MMDA and DPWH assured that the bridge is safe.
02:00Actually, our accomplishment is already 30%.
02:04We will do more for the lower part.
02:07The installation of carbon fiber sheets is already done.
02:11Now, we will install chain-type restrainers
02:17to make sure that during a strong earthquake,
02:20the substructure and superstructure of the bridge will not be separated.
02:27As part of the closure of the flyover,
02:30the traffic during peak hours is in full swing
02:33which starts in the part of South Borromeo in Quezon City.
02:37This is where the first half of the lane is starting
02:40which was closed by the MMDA until the very first flyover.
02:44According to the MMDA,
02:46the traffic is now in full swing
02:48especially when it comes to the traffic lights
02:50in the part of East Avenue.
02:52This month of May, the MMDA temporarily closed
02:54the 32-year-old bridge
02:56so that it will be under retrofitting.
02:58The MMDA made a long-term effort
03:00to avoid severe damage
03:02when the big one, or strong earthquake, hit.
03:08Dayan, at this time,
03:10this is the situation
03:12here in the part of Camoning Flyover.
03:14It is spacious
03:16and there is almost no line of vehicles.
03:18That situation is very far away
03:20if we compare it
03:22to the days when the Camoning Flyover
03:24was temporarily closed
03:26to the motorists
03:28because of the retrofitting.
03:30Meanwhile, Dayan,
03:32the installation of the Magallanes Flyover
03:34in Quezon City has also started.
03:36The MMDA also said earlier
03:38that they will continue
03:40the repair work
03:42for the next few months
03:44before the end of this year
03:46of the Guadalupe Bridge.
03:48Dayan.
03:50Thank you very much, Ryan Lasigas.
