Unsafe 'Mt. Kamuning' Footbridge Demolished; Modern Replacement Planned

Kamuning Footbridge Demolition Highlights Safety Concerns in Quezon City Quezon City, Philippines – The Kamuning footbridge, a familiar landmark known for its steep incline, is being demolished due to safety concerns. The decision comes after Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed the bridge was unsafe, stating, "It doesn't feel safe." The video report by GMA News shows the steep stairs, which commuters described as difficult, especially for elderly people. One commuter, Ate Josie, commented, "It's really hard, especially for those who are older." The report also highlights the concerns of daily users who face challenges due to the steep incline, especially during inclement weather. In response, the government plans to replace the footbridge with a more accessible structure, featuring a lower incline and an elevator, ensuring greater safety and convenience for all users. The new design aims to alleviate the safety concerns and improve accessibility for the community.
