Manila Mayor Honey Lacuna officially spearheaded the reopening of the historic Lagusnilad underpass on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, marking the end of a six-month-long rehabilitation period for motorists.
Commencing its restoration on May 2, 2023, the project, originally slated for completion in September, faced a two-month extension, attributed to technical challenges, including flood control, as acknowledged by the rehab project undertaker Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Timely for the festive season, the Lagusnilad underpass emerged as a welcome solution to ease traffic congestion in the heart of Manila, offering respite just as the city prepares for the upcoming Christmas and New Year holidays.
