Rectified flyover to reopen in November

ILOILO CITY — The defective P680-million Ungka flyover in Pavia, Iloilo, which underwent rectification works in January, may be opened for full capacity use in November this year.

However, Department of Public Works and Highways – Western Visayas (DPWH–6) Director Sanny Boy Oropel said that opening the flyover on the target date is only possible if the first phase of repairs is completed by the end of July.
