\u201cWe are happy to announce that this toll-free road will be able to cut travel time from Bicutan to Taytay and vice versa from an hour to just 30 minutes or less,\u201d<\/em> claimed Villar in a press release.

\u201cAside from increased mobility, this project acts as an armored elevated dike protecting Taguig City against possible flooding,\u201d added Villar. “The Laguna Lake Highway can also be a temporary evacuation area during the occurrence of floods.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The Laguna Lake Highway is composed of a two (2) lane concrete road plus a two (2) meter-wide planting strip and drainage. Apart from that, it also includes a widened of three (3) bridges namely the Napindan Bridge, Barkadahan Bridge, and Tapayan Bridge.<\/p>\n
