Molino-Daang Hari Flyover now open

MANILA: The Molino-Daang Hari Flyover Project in Cavite is finally open to vehicular traffic after six years of construction.

Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Undersecretary Roberto Bernardo led the inauguration ceremony on December 12, along with DPWH Regional Office IV-A Director Jovel Mendoza and Cavite Third District Engineer Donnie Cuna.

The newly opened flyover is expected to cut the travel time between Barangays Molino III and Molino IV in Bacoor City and neighboring towns by 15 to 30 minutes.

In 2016, the project received P240 million as initial allocation. An additional allocation of P311 million was given to the project in 2018 and another P150 million in 2022.

DPWH plans to propose an additional P765 million for the project, which is envisioned as a four-lane flyover. The additional funds will cover the remaining civil work for more lanes as well as the acquisition of road right-of-way.

“The Molino-Daang Hari Flyover, though still in progress, marks a significant step toward enhancing transportation infrastructure and fostering economic growth in Bacoor and its surrounding areas,” Mendoza stated.

Bacoor City Mayor Strike Revilla also mentioned during the inauguration ceremony the obstacles encountered during construction, such as right-of-way and funding releases, highlighting the multisectoral commitment to overcoming challenges for the remaining road works.

Meanwhile, Cavite Second District Representative Lani Mercado-Revilla guaranteed Caviteños that funding would be secured to complete the project and expressed gratitude to the national and local governments.
