The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and NLEX Corp. yesterday formally opened a new two-lane road which will serve as an alternative route going in and out of Meycauayan and Marilao in Bulacan.
The new road, constructed by DPWH, occupies a portion of the North Luzon Expressway right -of- way covering Barangay Lias in Marilao. It is one of the government’s traffic decongestion projects to improve the Bulacan road network.
The opening of this road will help ease the growing traffic volume at the Meycauayan-Marilao corridor as it bypasses the MacArthur Highway and other congested streets.
Motorists coming from Paso de Blas, Valenzuela City can go all the way to Lias, Marilao just by using the service road.
This project also improves traffic flow at Meycauayan Interchange during peak hours and provides an alternative convenient route for motorists, especially those traveling between Iba, Libtong, Malhacan and Pandayan in Meycauayan as well as Lias, Ibayo, Saog and Lambakin in Marilao. – Myla Iglesias
