    Hi. Anyone know how long this is planned to be closed? I realise that we can add 6-12 months to the planned timescale. Thanks.

    This is such a large project. I don’t recall seeing a timetable but I personally have written off being able to use the Agapito crossing for at least the next two years; more if we change municipal governments in the interim.

    If that is the bridge project near the BIR, the plan is to open in 345 days.

    How long did it take them to complete the Colon St. extension bridge project? This one is bigger, take that as a starting point.

    I didn't know there was a problem with the "bridge". The roads directly before and after were complete garbage but I didn't notice anything wrong with the spillway itself.

    Did they ever finish up the one down stream (that passes by Hypermart)?

    I think the one downstream that passes by Hypermart is the bridge they are writing about. It was is still under construction as of a week ago. I liked the old bridge because only motorcycles could get across.

    That is the Colon St Ext. Bridge, it is finished. They began the other one for two reasons, one the roads are bad, and two, drum roll please, they are actually trying to be proactive and don't want a repeat as to what happened to the other bridge. Amazing as it seems. Of course, if it did happen it would have a more adverse effect on many more people.

    Thanks for the update on the bridge being finished. What is "it" you are referring to?
