Ungka Flyover Remains Intact After Quakes
Authorities confirmed that no major structural damage was observed on the Ungka Flyover in Pavia, Iloilo. This comes after two strong earthquakes recently shook the Visayas and Mindanao regions.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Western Visayas conducted thorough inspections. Officials reported that despite the intensity of the quakes, the flyover’s integrity remains safe and stable.
Community Assurance and Safety Measures
Local leaders noted that the swift assessment helped reassure residents and commuters alike. “Wala gid sang daku nga kadaut ang flyover,” a community member said, emphasizing the structure’s resilience.
DPWH-6 officers highlighted ongoing monitoring efforts to ensure public safety. They reiterated that the flyover continues to serve as a vital transport link without any restrictions.
Earthquake Impact Across Visayas and Mindanao
In the past two weeks, two powerful earthquakes rattled several provinces, causing casualties and property damage. Officials reported that at least eight lives were lost due to the twin quakes.
Despite the widespread effects, key infrastructures like the Ungka Flyover have withstood the tremors. This outcome underscores the importance of robust construction standards in disaster-prone areas.
Ongoing Vigilance and Preparedness
Authorities encourage residents to stay alert and follow safety protocols. Continuous inspections and maintenance of critical infrastructure remain a priority to mitigate risks from future seismic events.
