A Quick Update on a Landmark in the Making  

**QUICK UPDATE | First Overpass in Uptown (DSWD) – December 26, 2025** – The skyline of Uptown is starting to change. The first column of the pedestrian overpass near DSWD now proudly stands, like a sentinel marking the future of safer and more convenient travel.  

You can almost feel the excitement in the air as workers move with purposeful dedication. On the opposite end, column works have also begun, though these have yet to be cemented, leaving a skeletal frame that hints at the transformation to come. The rhythmic sound of construction blends with the daily hum of the city, signaling progress in motion.  

Transitioning from plans on paper to reality on the boulevard is no small feat. This overpass is poised to change the way pedestrians move through Uptown, reducing risks and enhancing accessibility. Every bolt tightened and every frame lifted brings the vision closer to completion.  

What This Means for Uptown’s Future  

With the first column already anchored in the ground, Uptown is witnessing the dawn of a new chapter. This overpass will create a secure pathway for locals, office workers, and visitors who need to cross the bustling avenue. No longer will crossing the street feel like dodging streams of endless traffic – instead, it will become a moment of ease and safety. 

Moreover, the construction near the DSWD building symbolizes more than just infrastructure growth; it’s a statement of urban care. By investing in this pedestrian-friendly project, city planners are prioritizing human movement over mere vehicular flow. As the remaining columns take shape and cement dries, anticipation will continue to build. Soon, Uptown’s skyline will carry a new landmark – a bridge between where we are and where we’re headed.
