The Ceremony and Its Promise
City leaders gathered with purpose and optimism as heavy machinery hummed in the morning light. Moreover, community members watched attentively while officials marked a milestone for local infrastructure. City Mayor Klarex Uy, Fr. Mars Tan, Xavier University President, Jose Soberano, CEO of Cebu Landmasters, and Jose Franco Soberano, Chief Operating Officer of Cebu Landmasters, led the Manresa Access Road Concrete Pouring Ceremony. The ceremony signaled the tangible start of a project many have long awaited.
Consequently, attendees felt a renewed sense of possibility because the 2-kilometer access road will link downtown and uptown. The event underscored collaboration between public and private sectors, and the atmosphere brimmed with shared responsibility. In short, stakeholders emphasized that this work aims to reduce congestion and enhance mobility for residents.
The Road, the Timeline, and Community Impact
The project involves a 2-kilometer public-private access road connecting the downtown and uptown areas. Therefore, planners expect more efficient traffic flow, particularly toward the uptown area where peak-hour backups frequently occur. Engineers outlined phased work, confirming that the access road is projected to be completed by the end of 2027, and crews will maintain steady progress.
Ultimately, the initiative aims to help ease traffic congestion, particularly toward the uptown area, and to improve daily commutes for everyone. Residents expressed hope because the new route is expected to benefit all Kagay-anons. As construction advances, local leaders pledge transparency and responsiveness so the community enjoys the road’s advantages as soon as possible.
