Skyway to the Future
MANILA - The massive columns and beams of the Skyway Extension that is under constructions looms large over the daily gridlocks on the streets below.
Motorists bear with longer traffic jams due the construction on the promise that once finished, the Skyway Extension Stage 3 will cut travel time from Balintawak to Buendia to 15 minutes from 2 hours.
The nearly 15-kilometer stretch will connect the North and South Luzon Expressways, a much needed alternative for motorists seeking to avoid metro traffic. The target for completion is in 2020.
For the laborers who toil for one of the government's big ticket infrastructure projects, the order is to "build, build, build" and do it fast for the future.
