The bypass road crosses two major road intersections of Urdaneta-Dagupan Road and Urdaneta-Manaoag Provincial Road.
Public Work and Highways Secretary Mark Villar, who led the ceremonial inauguration, said the project is seen to address traffic bottlenecks during peak hours along Manila North Road in Urdaneta City and establish an improved national road system in the province of Pangasinan.
It is expected to reduce travel time between Villasis town proper to Binalonan to just 30 minutes and will benefit about 38,000 daily motorists.
A total of P1.885 billion was spent to implement the project.
According to DPWH Region 1 Director Ronnel Tan, the Urdaneta Bypass Road Project involves construction of six lanes portland concrete cement pavement including sidewalk, drainage and slope protection, and installation of solar street lights.
