San Miguel Corp. on Monday said it has shelved its proposed Pasig River Expressway project amid issues raised by some environmental and conservation advocates.
“We listen to the pulse of the people. We are very sensitive to the opinion of the public. If the public thinks that it is not good for the public welfare, we will not do that,” he added. The project will connect and utilize a 2.7-km. portion of Skyway Stage 3 from Nagtahan to Plaza Azul.The company earlier said it invested P2 billion to clean up the Pasig River and integrate a bus rapid transit system, bicycle lanes and pedestrian walkways in the project.
Under the memorandum of agreement, MPTC and SMC will jointly undertake the construction, operation and maintenance of the 87.96-kilometer Cavite-Batangas Expressway and Nasugbu-Bauan Expressway.
