The project—formally titled “Rehabilitation / Major Repair of Permanent Bridges – Dimasalang Bridge (B01820LZ) along Dimasalang Street (Phase II)”—aims to ensure the structural integrity, safety, and continued serviceability of the bridge for the motoring public and nearby communities.
Domagoso said the DPWH is eyeing to complete the rehabilitation by the second week of October 2026, ahead of Undas, when millions of visitors are expected to converge on the Manila North Cemetery.
The mayor noted that the southbound lane, which was the subject of the first phase, had already been completed on schedule—thanking DPWH for keeping its commitment to the city.
“Tinupad nila ‘yung takdang araw.”
“Natapos na po at natutuwa naman ako. Salamat sa DPWH, tinupad nila ‘yung takdang araw,” he noted.
Motorists are advised to watch for the full traffic rerouting plan, which the city government will publish on its official social media platforms.
