The bypass road also features a traffic signal system, light posts, lay-by areas, and sidewalks, as well as bicycle and pedestrian lanes. The DPWH says this road can also be a recreational area for both residents and tourists alike. The project cost P470.11 million and is expected to serve about 10,000 travelers daily.
“The opening of this new road ensures the faster delivery of goods to and from Nueva Vizcaya and also help decongest traffic along busy Daang Maharlika,” said DPWH secretary Manuel Bonoan.
