File photo January 19, 2021 THE Department of Public Works and Highways-Davao Region (DPWH-Davao) will no longer push through with the fly-over project along McArthur Highway due to opposition from various sectors.
DPWH-Davao spokesperson Dean Ortiz told SunStar Davao in a phone interview on Tuesday, January 19, that the road-widening project covering Sandawa Road to Tulip Drive Junction was supposed to be implemented in preparation for the construction of the 1.7-kilometer Maa Flyover project worth P600 million this year.
But Ortiz said the P1-billion road infrastructure project will not push through after encountering opposition from the business sector and environmental groups.
