Clark Development Corporation (CDC) has recently completed its P7. 3 million Covered Pathway Project located at the Friendship Gate of Clark Freeport.
The pathway, which is 715.41 linear meters in length, will benefit the pedestrians entering Clark through the Friendship Gate. It provides shade for the commuting public who walk from the jeepney station outside Friendship road to the waiting shed inside the Freeport and back.
According to the CDC Engineering Services Group (ESG), which headed the pathway project, the initiative also included the cleaning, restoration, and repair of existing drainage structures.
CDC Vice President Dennis C. Legaspi said other ongoing projects include Phase 4 of the Bike Lane, which is expected to be finished by September this year. This project entails the construction of a two-meter-wide, seven-kilometer-long inbound and outbound bike lane from the Friendship Gate to the Clark Main Gate via the M.A. Roxas Highway, leading .
Once completed, the bike lane will provide access for workers inside the Freeport Zone with a seamless and safer path while biking to work. It will also provide a longer bike route for leisure bikers and cyclists entering and exiting through the main gate.
Meanwhile, also expected to be finished soon is the P34.3 million, BCDA-funded New Clark City Non-Motorized Transport System, which includes a bike path from Mabalacat Gate, passing through Gil Puyat, Panday Pira, Creekside Roads, M.A. Roxas Highway, up to New Clark City. Also included are the restoration of concrete curbs, construction of sidewalks, metal frames and gratings, bike path painting, pavement markings, and tree transplanting.
Also underway is the construction of the Clark North Gate, located between Clark North Exit of Subic Clark Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX) and the Sacobia Bridge. Other projects that are also in the pipeline are improvements of guesthouses, renovation of CDC offices, improvements of the drainage system and construction of the satellite office of the Environmental Protection Division, and the construction of the Connector Road from McArthur Highway to Clark Freeport Zone.
