MMDA backs C-6 road project
THE Metro Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is pushing for a P22 billion road project that would link adjacent provinces to the metropolis.

According to MMDA Chairman Bayani Fernando, the project, also known as the Metro Manila Tollway or Circumferential Road Expressway-6, will ease traffic in Edsa, C-5, and other arterial roads.

During a dialogue with local government executives from the eastern, southern and northern provinces on the outskirts of the National Capital Region (NCR), the local officials asked Fernando, also the concurrent Regional Development Council (RDC) head for the NCR, to exhaust all possible means to source out funding for the project.

“We have to act to get this thing moving. It will surely decongest Metro Manila, vast tracts of land in the provinces will be opened for commercial use and will be saved from illegal settlements,” Fernando said.

Aside from the local executives, contractors and engineers of the Department of Public Works and Highways and the Metro Manila Tollways Corp. also urged the MMDA chief to implement the C-6 project.

Fernando also told the local government heads that he is considering including the C-6 project in the Mega Manila Development program of the RDC.

The funding for the project, Fernando added, might come from the Overseas Development Assistance loan facility.

The C-6 road project has been stalled and shelved due to lack of funding for the past 30 years.

The MMDA is expected to submit the project study and feasibility report and recommendation to the RDC and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for approval.

Under the proposed project, which has an estimated length of 75.45 km, the Metro Manila Tollway will link the North Luzon Expressway and the South Luzon Expressway from Marilao, Bulacan to Upper Bicutan, the Laguna Bay Coastal Road from Bicutan to San Pedro, Laguna; and the C-6 south segment from San Pedro to the Cavite Coastal Road in Noveleta, Cavite.

There will be at least eight interchanges to be constructed from Bicutan going north, traversing Taguig City and towns of Taytay, San Mateo, and Rodriguez, Rizal and San Jose del Monte and Marilao in Bulacan.

serious note: 2 lang kailangan na solusyon, common sense and courtesy.

non-serious note:

Accdg to my calculations, a provincial type road (18" thick industrial grade concrete) of 75.45 km long na 10 lanes wide with 2 dirt shoulders (no asphalt overlay, at-grade exit roads, flyovers, barriers, traffic lights, corruption, etc... road lang) dapat P6B. Let's say i-doble natin para flyovers, toll plazas/systems, & corruption lang excluded. P12B. Where will the other P10B go?

Electric Bus System:



Di sya pede change lane, kasi di na sya makagalaw.

an underground subway system maybe? is this even possible? so many things to consider...geography, topography, finance, vision...

Hindi yata pede ito sa Manila cuz most of the ground is soft. Baha lang palagi ang subway. Besides it costs at least double to build underground.

Solution: First, Electric Bus, then ban all PUB & PUJ where meron electric bus, then pag ginawa yung C6, pede po 10-20% na lang 'commission'? Para yung cost e mga P14B nalang kesa P22B.

I propose na yung mga ma-displace na PUB & PUJ either give em other routes or give em preferred shares sa E-bus Co. in exchange for their units which can be sent to other routes which need em. Then mga employees nila pede given preference in probationary employment sa E-Bus. Win-win diba? Of course, di mangyayari yan kasi loser ang government natin.

How I wish they'd build C6 already!!!

Pero sobrang OT na ito... :lol:

simple lang naman dapat eh
they just have to stop those old rickety buses from plying edsa because w/ the mrt doing the same thing, its just plain redundancy.
same thing w/ the lrt route.doble na ang road occupancy, doble pa ang pollution, maslalo pang kumikitid ang daan w/ all the puvs plying the same route/s
