It looks like the BGC-Ortigas Center Road link is on track for completion next year after recent photos taken by ‘infra documenter’ Pinoy Joyride showed that both sides of the bridge are finally connected.
Public Works and Highways Sec. Mark Villar earlier said that the bridge will be a traffic game changer since it will reduce travel time between Bonifacio Global City and Ortigas Central Business District to 11 minutes.
“This will serve as an alternate corridor from EDSA and C-5 along the section of Guadalupe Bridge and Bagong Ilog Bridge, eventually allowing more economic opportunities for our “kababayans”, Villar said.
The P1.6-billion project involves the construction of the four-lane Sta. Monica-Lawton Bridge across Pasig River that will connect Lawton Avenue in Makati and Sta. Monica Street, as well as the rehabilitation and widening of Brixton to Fairlane Street in Pasig City.
The project also involves the construction of the 565-meter Lawton Avenue to BGC viaduct that will traverse Lawton Avenue towards the entrance of BGC.
