BUSTOS, Bulacan – In two weeks, motorists can drive from Bustos to San Rafael towns using the Plaridel Bypass Road in Bulacan province. Public Works Secretary Mark Villar on Monday inaugurated the 24.61 kilometer-long bypass road, which could be used to access Nueva Ecija through the eastern Bulacan towns via the North Luzon Expressway and the Cagayan Valley provinces via the Maharlika Highway. The inauguration involved the bypass road project’s Phase 3 and 4 sections leading to San Rafael. Villar also led groundbreaking ceremonies for the expansion of the Plaridel Bypass Road from two lanes to four lanes. Villar said the bypass road is part of the Luzon Spine Expressway Network that will connect northern and southern Luzon.
