Kagay-an Bridge nears completion
THE fifth bridge in the city, Kagay-an Bridge, is to be completed in December this year.
Engineer Isidro Obligado, assistant implementing officer of the project, disclosed this even as the project is originally scheduled to be completed in August 2007 or still 220 days ahead.
The bridge is to be completed this year as projected by the contractor of the project while the roads approaching the bridge are expected to be completed before August next year.
Obligado said the bridge costs P190,579,601.46 while the roads connecting to it from Tambo, Macasandig to Pabayo and Velez streets cost P141,519,097.
The bridge connects barangays Carmen and Nazareth to Macasandig and is expected to help decongest the traffic jam in the southwestern part of the city.
At present, the city has three major bridges namely, the Ysalina Bridge, Maharlika Bridge and the Emmanuel Pelaez Bridge.
The fifth bridge, funded under a loan agreement with the Land Bank of the Philippines, is one among the major infrastructure projects the City Government has implemented if only to put in place a city that is conducive for business and pleasure. (CIO)
