Citra Central Expressway Corporation, the project proponent of the 14.8-km Skyway Stage 3 extension project, divulged yesterday that work on the initial phase of the construction of bored piles that form the foundation of the Skyway superstructure is right on schedule.
As vehicular traffic along Osmeña Highway, especially between P. Ocampo St. and Arellano Ave. in Manila, continues to be manageable, Team Skyway Stage 3 also continues to undertake Stage 3 advance work according to schedule.
By last Monday, 37 bored piles that form part of the foundation for the Skyway superstructure have been installed.
The bored pile work is followed by the installation of pile caps after which the columns are erected.
To date, the 10 columns for the 90-day advance work schedule will be erected by May 16, 2014.
Advance work is part of the construction of Section 1 – Buendia to Plaza Dilao/Quirino Ave. Other sections are: Section 2 – Plaza Dilao-Aurora Blvd.;
Section 3 – Aurora Blvd-Quezon Ave/Del Monte Ave.; and Section 4 – Quezon Ave.-Bonifacio Ave. /Balintawak.
Skyway Stage 3 is the 14.8-km. 2×3 elevated toll way with eight access points in strategic locations that will connect South Luzon Expressway with North Luzon Expressway from Buendia in Makati City to Balintawak in Quezon City.
The project aims to decongest traffic in Metro Manila’s major thoroughfares like EDSA, C5 and Central Manila.
