House Bill No.__23.02

Introduced by HON. LINABELLE RUTH R. VILLARICA
4™ DISTRICT, BULACAN

EXPLANATORY NOTE

Service Roads are constructed as alternative routes to main road networks to
abbreviate the travel time of motorists and commuters who intend to go to nearby areas.
Main arterial roads are utilized for long distance travel.

Presently, however, there is no service road connecting the Malinta Interchange to
Meycauayan City Interchange and from Meycauayan City Interchange to the Marilao
Interchange. The riding public has to spend so much money and material time just to get
from one point to the next as they will have to utilize the North Luzon Expressway
(NLEX) even for short distance destinations. Moreover, a service road system in this
area is an alternative route from Metro Manila and North Luzon without passing through
the NLEX.

This bill seeks to make short distance travels practical and cost effective by
providing for the establishment of a service road in this area.

This bill was filed during the 15" Congress and was referred to the Committee on
Public Works and Highways. Due to time constraints, however, no further action was
taken on it. This bill is filed during the 16" Congress for its consideration.

Support for the enactment of this measure is earnestly requested.
