The Cutcut Flyover in Angeles City is now open to motorists. This new infrastructure on the Fil-Am Friendship Highway facilitates smoother travel for those heading towards Clark and the City of San Fernando. According to Engineer Arnold Ocampo of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Pampanga Third District Engineering Office, the recent dry-run and initial traffic assessment on Angeles-Porac Road, as well as routes to the economic zone, were successful.
The DPWH conducted a thorough evaluation to ensure that the flyover meets all safety and efficiency standards. The dry-run allowed them to monitor traffic flow and address any potential issues before the official opening. The initial feedback from motorists has been positive, indicating that the flyover significantly eases congestion in the area.
One of the key benefits of the Cutcut Flyover is the reduced travel time for commuters and freight transport between Clark and the City of San Fernando. This improvement is expected to boost economic activities by facilitating faster and more efficient transportation of goods and people. The flyover also provides a safer route for motorists, reducing the likelihood of accidents in the previously congested areas.
In addition to the flyover itself, the DPWH has been working on installing a traffic light system underneath the structure. This system is aimed at improving traffic management and ensuring smooth vehicular flow. The DPWH targets to have this traffic light operational within the month of July, further enhancing the efficiency of the newly opened flyover.
Local businesses and residents have expressed optimism about the positive impact of the Cutcut Flyover on their daily commutes and overall quality of life. The new infrastructure is expected to attract more investments to the region, given the improved accessibility and reduced travel times. The economic zone, in particular, stands to benefit from the increased ease of transportation.
The opening of the Cutcut Flyover marks a significant milestone in the infrastructure development of Angeles City. It reflects the government’s commitment to improving public infrastructure and addressing traffic congestion issues in rapidly developing urban areas. The DPWH continues to monitor the situation and make necessary adjustments to ensure optimal performance of the new flyover.
Moving forward, the DPWH plans to implement additional measures to maintain and enhance the infrastructure in Angeles City. This includes regular maintenance of the flyover and surrounding roads, as well as continuous monitoring of traffic patterns to address any emerging issues promptly. The successful opening of the Cutcut Flyover sets a precedent for future infrastructure projects aimed at improving the lives of residents and fostering economic growth in the region.
