Cebu City-Danao City Bypass Road

 

Traffic in Cebu is really becoming a big issue these days especially if you’re going north of the city,  with the expected bottlenecks in Mandaue city, Consolacion and in Liloan.

So here’s the good news. A new road has been opened to traffic linking Cebu city to Compostela, Cebu via the new Dapdap-Paril road bypassing Mandaue city and the towns of Liloan and Consilacion.

When fully completed, travel time will be lessened by at least sixty minutes or more.

This is a welcome development to residents of Northern Cebu who can now skip the ordeal of traffic in the usual chokepoints especially emergency vehicles like ambulances and other government vehicles in urgent official trips.

Once people get accustomed to this new bypass road, Cebu North Road will eventually take a breather and hopefully, traffic condition will improve especially during rush hours.

What a good news indeed!

Cebu’s Largest Convention Venue

IC3 at 23 Minore Park is the largest of them all and it has quite a story to tell. People call its construction a miracle. Indeed a handiwork of the Lord, from the moment of its inception, through the challenges of a twin calamity in  2013, to its completion just on time for the 51st International Eucharistic Congress (IEC).

More to that tale of miracle :  Story behind IEC

Today, Cebu is relying on IC3 to hold the largest indoor gatherings and international conventions. With a seating capacity of over 10,000, the fully-airconditioned facility is geared ready to host these massive convergence and congregation of people. The plenary can be divided into smaller venues by movable partitions and serve as break-out rooms that function as intimate gathering spaces. A holding room is also available for variety of purposes like rest area for performers or celebrities. Ingress and Egress is smooth through a delivery ramp from the basement where its capacious parking  can accommodate more than 250 vehicles.

Location, location, location. An organizer’s dream, you may call it, as it is exactly the case. A mere walking distance from Cebu Business Park and right smack in Juan Luna Avenue between the I.T Park and SM City Cebu.

IC3 is located within 23 Minore Park, a master-planned development along with VISMIN’s first Landers Superstore. But the corner lot, the most prime and supposed to be the most expensive property is reserved for the best purpose, a chapel and a park.

Just when we thought we’ve seen enough of Cebu, it then surprises us with a new offering, and IC3 together with 23 Minore Park is one of those surprises. A humble contribution of Duros Group to the beauty of the Queen city of the South.

P458 Billion for Cebu Infrastructure

Cebu is getting a major facelift and physical upgrade as it gets preferential attention and funding amounting to 458 billion pesos of infrastructure projects in the next 5 years. A strategic component of Dutertenomics for the central Philippine island that is now undergoing unprecedented growth.

Dutertenomics is the blueprint of the current administration designed to jump start the economy by pumping funds in much needed infrastructure of the country.  It is committed to spend between 5% to 7% of its GDP  to new roads, bridges and airports. With the slogan, Build, build, build, it is aimed to catapult the country to the 21st century to make it competitive in the global market.

While construction for the iconic third Cebu-Mactan bridge or CCLEX is yet to start next month, plans for the 4th bridge is already underway together with the much ambitious Cebu- Negros linkage.

Also included in the master plan is Metro Cebu bypass expressway  which when finished will reduce travel time from Danao city to Carcar city to just 85 minutes.

Metro Cebu Bypass Expressway to start next year

DPWH Sec. Mark Villar said the 50 billion-peso infrastructure will span the distance from Danao city to Naga Naga city to provide solution to the ever growing traffic menace of Metro Cebu.

End to end, travel time will be reduced from the present average of 180 minutes to just 85 minutes.

​
The 4-lane expressway will be mostly elevated but some portions will be underground, in a subway, to avoid the surface traffic and minimize obstruction to surrounding structures.

A flagship project of Dutertenomics, the golden era of building infrastructures in the Philippines.
