Anyone remember the fire that damaged the Katipunan flyover? Another reason why ILLEGAL SQUATTERS should not be allowed to live under an infrastructure...
DPWH: Heavy trucks, trailers banned from Nagtahan Bridge after predawn fire
July 14, 2012 1:10pm
After a predawn fire that razed shanties under the Nagtahan Bridge in Manila Friday, the Department of Public Works and Highways have barred heavy trailer trucks from passing over the bridge.
In a travel advisory posted on the DPWH website Friday afternoon, DPWH Secretary Rogelio Singson said the fire "seriously damaged" four spans of the bridge.
"To prevent further untoward incident to happen to the motorists, the DPWH has decided to reduce the bridge load capacity to 10 tons only. Heavy trailers (and) trucks are prohibited to pass over Nagtahan Bridge until further notice," he said.
Earlier Friday, a fire of undetermined origin razed several houses under the Nagtahan Bridge in Manila's Sta. Mesa district.

July 19th, 2012 01:27 PM #3Very well remember that hehehe... I even posted a thread here in tsikot. Oh well! After several years and so, ayun! mukhang tinahi parin ang itchura ng island ng katipunan bridge in between aurora blvd and p.tuazon hahaha!
I think indeed, illegal dwellers shouldn't at all cost be allowed to live under those kinds of multi million (plus tongpats) infrastructure. laking perwisyo sa oras at gastos sa pera kasi pag nagkakaroon ng aberya tulad nyan.

July 19th, 2012 01:53 PM #5How about that long bridge from E.Rodriguez(C5) Libis to Katipunan (through a tunnel)? Wasn't that damaged before because of fire from the shanties underneath it?

I am asking this because there are a lot of occasions that traffic there is at a standstill....
And, there isn't any prohibition or weight limit for those vehicles climbing up that bridge....
