Araneta Avenue) and Quezon Avenue Interchange Project in Barangay Sto. Domingo and Tatalon, Quezon City on Friday (September 28, 2012). ...The road project involves the construction of a depressed underpass with a length of 440 lineal meters and 330 lineal meters approaches along Quezon Avenue including the installation of three (3) submersible pumps with individual capacity of pumping out 277 liters per second back up by a power house with generating set and motor circuit control to operate depending on the intensity of the rain. The provision of water cisterns beneath the underpass with enough holding capacity and the construction of reinforced concrete box and pipe culverts will also help manage flooding. Designed to improve traffic flow at the intersection of Quezon Avenue and C-3 (G. Araneta Avenue) and reduce pollution load by lessening gas emissions during traffic gridlock, the project also covers the widening of Mariblo Bridge, improvement of service roads, and provision for street lighting, pavement markings, and traffic signs.
