Deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a press briefing aired over government-run radio station dzRB Radyo ng Bayan on Sunday that the Department of Public Works and Highways assured her that the P430-million underpass project would be completed and formally opened to the public next week.

She added that President Benigno S. Aquino III might lead the opening ceremonies for the underpass project that’s part of the C-3-Quezon Avenue Interchange, subject to the confirmation by the Office of the President’s Appointments Office on his availability next week.
