Remember the BGC-Ortigas Center Link Road Project? Part of it is the new Santa Monica-Lawton Bridge, also known as the BGC-Ortigas Bridge, which Bonifacio Global City regulars have been looking forward to for the past couple of years. Last we saw, the two sides of the infrastructure project were finally about to meet—and this was back in August 2020.
Well, the "superstructure," as the Department of Public Works and Highways is calling it, is about to cross another milestone: The agency says that it is targeting to partially open in May for the new BGC-Ortigas bridge.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) says that the structure itself is already completed, but that some construction works still have to be accomplished. Check out the progress of the four-lane, two-way bridge. Look:

The entire BGC-Ortigas Center Link Road Project's completion is set for September 2021. The 1.367 kilometer project is part of the Metro Manila Logistics Network, which aims to "cut to 12 minutes the one-hour-long drive between the BGC and Ortigas business districts," according to a report by the Philippine Information Agency. Once this is finished, travel times between Pasig City, Mandaluyong City, and Taguig are expected to be reduced. Traffic along EDSA and C5 will supposedly benefit from the project's completion as well.
2021 is shaping up to be one hell of a year for local infrastructure, with the BGC-Ortigas bridge is just one of the many bridges expected to decongest Metro Manila traffic. What other projects are you looking forward to seeing completed?
