Pinangunahan ni Senator Cynthia Villar noong Biyernes ang inauguration ng second phase ng Zapote River Drive sa Las Piñas City na inaasahang makakabawas ng 10 minutong biyahe mula Moonwalk hanggang Zapote gamit ang Alabang Zapote Road.
Ang pasinaya sa bagong ruta ay bahagi ng paggunita ng lungsod sa 120th anniversary ng 1897 Battle of Zapote Bridge.
Ang second phase ng Zapote River Drive ay mula Margie Moran St. sa BF Resort Village hanggang sa Pegasus Street sa Moonwalk Village.
Sa ngayon, ang travel time mula Moonwalk hanggang Zapote gamit ang Alabang Zapote Road ay umaabot ng isang oras dahil sa traffic.
“I am excited with the idea that commuters, especially employees who work in the area, can now arrive at their destinations without experiencing the horrendous traffic in most of Las Piñas’ busy streets.
This new route will bring convenience and comfort to the residents, particularly those going to work and those going home,” sabi ni Villar. (Elena Aben)
