The Public Works Bureau (DSOP) received a total of 12 bids for the first phase of the pedestrian flyover construction project at Avenida Marginal do Patane, according to information presented at the tender bids opening ceremony.
According to DSOP officials, of the 12 bids, 11 were immediately accepted while one was conditionally accepted pending the presentation of additional supporting documents.
The project is likely to start construction in the second quarter of this year and aims to reroute pedestrian traffic in this area to an upper level so that vehicle traffic can flow smoothly.
This is just the first phase of the project which includes a total of two bridges. When complete, the pedestrian flyover will have a rectangular shape linking all sides of the intersection, similar to the existing bridges beside the Lin Fong Sports Center.
For the time being, the flyover will have an “L” shape, which corresponds to half of the total project, and bids point to a maximum construction time of 385 working days.
The proposals received by DSOP suggest a cost ranging from 29 million patacas to more than 41 million patacas. RM
