Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario said in the legislature’s hemicycle yesterday that the government now expects the repairs and improvement work for the closed Barrier Gate underground bus terminal to be completed earlier than it had initially planned.
Rosario made the remarks when answering questions from several lawmakers on the first of a two-day Q&A session about his portfolio’s policy guidelines for next year.
The Transport Bureau (DSAT) announced in September that the government will undertake major work to improve the ventilation in the underground bus terminal at the Barrier Gate checkpoint while carrying out repairs to the equipment and facilities damaged by severe flooding caused by Super Typhoon Hato in August.
