The Central Visayas Regional Development Council-Infrastructure Development Committee (RDC 7-IDC) has approved the Mandaue-Consolacion-Liloan bypass road project seen to decongest traffic along the northern highway in Cebu.
National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA-7) Regional Director Efren Carreon said the project, whose feasibility study was endorsed by the IDC to the RDC 7 for approval on Tuesday, is expected to ease up traffic along the present Tayud-Liloan road.
“This is a very good project that will also ease traffic along the national highway,” he told Cebu Daily News in a text message on Wednesday.
The final project cost and actual length will be determined through the feasibility study to be conducted by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-7).
Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) president Glenn Soco, in a Facebook post, said he hopes the project will materialize soon as this will play a vital role in the growth and development of Cebu.
