Public Works and Highways Secretary Vince Dizon has ordered the immediate completion of the Sto. Cristo Flyover to help ease heavy traffic along MacArthur Highway in Angeles City.
During an inspection of the 1-kilometer flyover, Dizon directed the department to address delays in line with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.’s instructions to fast-track stalled infrastructure developments.
The DPWH chief noted that the project has been under construction since 2023. Although it could have been finished within 18 months, it was delayed due to fragmented or piecemeal funding.
To prevent further setbacks, Dizon ordered the full funding of the project to ensure its completion by June next year.
Once finished, the flyover is expected to significantly decongest MacArthur Highway and provide faster travel for motorists throughout Pampanga.
