Project Description:
The Flyover Project to be constructed at the intersection of Gapan-San Fernando- Olongapo Road and Lazatin Road intersection in San Fernando City, is a necessary infrastructure that presents a structural solution to traffic congestion caused by lowering road capacities brought about by an urbanizing metropolis. The proposed project would serve incoming and outgoing traffic to and from the heart of San Fernando City to the neighboring towns and urban centers which will lessen the travel time and costs of transport along this intersection. The approaches to the intersection along the Gapan-San Fernando- Olongapo Road are four-lane undivided roads linking regional centers, cities, and municipalities in the north to the regional centers , cities and municipalities in the south.
The proposed Flyover has been conceptualized by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to decongest the present traffic situation and the increasing volume of the trucks and vehicles plying the area especially during rush hour. The feasibility Study is likewise prepared resulting to the viability of the structure not only in terms of beneficial aspect but also on some considerations on aesthetics of the structure, social, economics, and environmental .
