Urdaneta Western Bypass Road set for opening on December 2017

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is preparing the completion of the Urdaneta Western Bypass Road project. The road is expected to open before the year ends (December 2017) to ease traffic congestion.
 
The 7.2-kilometer long Urdaneta Western Bypass Road, which was designed to allow commuters to skip Urdaneta City proper in Pangasinan, will provide free alternative route to the existing Manila North Road, Urdaneta-Dagupan Road, Urdaneta-Manaoag Road, and the Tarlac-Pangasinan-La-Union Expressway (TPLEX) for motorists going to and from Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, and Metro Manila.
