Motorists can now use a newly reopened section of the Herrero-Perez Road, helping ease traffic congestion in Dagupan city.

Tricycles and private vehicles can now turn left from A.B. Fernandez Avenue onto Herrero-Perez, pass through Toledo Street, and exit at Perez Boulevard.

Public jeepneys headed downtown are also being rerouted through Herrero-Perez to reduce congestion.

“Open na ang kalahati ng Herrero-Perez, bale didiretso sila sa Wonderland tapos lalabas na sila sa may Perez,” Rexon de Vera, Deputy Chief of the Dagupan City Public Order and Safety Office (POSO), said.

“Hindi na masyado ma-traffic ngayon, okey naman na ang dinadaanan namin,” Manaois said.

Meanwhile, the road elevation project in Herrero-Perez is now complete, with only the curing period remaining before it is fully operational.

Once the curing process is done, the road will open for buses traveling the Dagupan City-San Fernando City route, which will provide a more direct alternative to Tebeng Road and Caranglaan District.

“Tapos nang nasemento, hihintayin na lang natin. Baka bago mag Bangus Festival, open na ‘yan sa mga sasakyan,” de Vera added.
