No injuries were caused by the collapse at the Imus City Flyover site, although the collapsed beams pinned down some of the project contractor’s heavy equipment.
The government-owned Philippines News Agency said that the accident happened while beams were being lifted and placed using a crane.
The Department of Public Works & Highways Cavite South Engineering District has dispatched additional workers and equipment to help clear the site.
The flyover is part of the four-lane, 45km Cavite-Laguna Expressway, which is set to be completed by 2020.
