DPWH-6 seeks P285M budget to finish Iloilo flyover by 2027

The Department of Public Works and Highways Western Visayas (DPWH-6) is seeking P285 million under the 2026 national budget to complete the Aganan flyover in Pavia, Iloilo, which has been stalled since October 2022.

The proposed budget has been included in the 2026 National Expenditure Program (NEP), but its approval is uncertain as it still needs to pass congressional deliberations.

DPWH-6 Officer-in-Charge Director Jose Al Fruto stated that if approved, funds could be released by February or March 2026, allowing for completion by the last quarter of 2026 or March 2027.

The construction of the P802 million Aganan Flyover began in November 2019 with an original target completion date of June 2023.

The project is currently over 82% accomplished, with additional funds needed for jet grouting and road widening.
