Flyover in Iloilo Exposed by PBBM for Remaining Unfinished After 6 Years
President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has called attention to several long-delayed infrastructure projects in Iloilo.
The Philippine President flagged the delayed Iloilo infrastructure projects in Iloilo particularly the Aganan flyover in Pavia, which has been under construction for years but remains incomplete.
During his visit to Iloilo yesterday (August 13, 2025), the President’s convoy passed by the unfinished flyover, which has been causing heavy traffic in the area. He was informed that the project started back in 2019 but faced major setbacks due to errors in its original design.
Engineers reportedly needed to reinforce the foundation using a process called jet grouting, adding more time and cost to the construction.
It was also brought to his attention that the project has run short of funds because of these adjustments. Motorists and residents have been dealing with daily traffic jams and inconvenience as a result of the prolonged work.
The President has ordered an investigation into the contractor handling the project. The same contractor was also responsible for another flyover in Iloilo City, which is currently closed due to structural problems.
The situation has raised concerns about project management, proper planning, and accountability in government-funded infrastructure. Many residents are frustrated that after six years, what was supposed to be a solution to traffic congestion has instead become part of the problem.
President Marcos Jr. has previously stated that his administration will not only look into questionable flood control projects but also investigate any suspicious or poorly executed government projects.
For Iloilo residents, the hope now is that this renewed attention will finally push the Aganan flyover toward completion, bringing relief to the traffic-choked area and restoring confidence in public infrastructure projects.
