Traffic lights up soon in Calistoga road junction 

TRAFFIC is expected to improve along the Calasiao-Sta. Barbara junction with the installation of traffic lights as well as the repainting of pedestrian lanes, which are all set to be completed next week.

In an interview by IFM News Dagupan, Bernard Mejia, POSO Deputy Officer for Operations of Calasiao, admitted all these should have been completed in late April, but the contractor had limited working hours in consideration of heavy vehicular volume in the daytime. The Calasiao local government funded the project which costs about P10.3 million. (Mathew Pacheco)
