PGMA INAUGURATES P167 MILLION BRIDGE PROJECT IN ISABELA

Top 

  President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo together with Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. led in the inauguration of Jones Bridge in Jones, Isabela Province. During the inauguration, Ebdane reported to President Arroyo that the new Bridge Project is one of the long Modular Steel Bridges that the DPWH had built throughout the country. Implemented by the DPWH Special bridges Project Management Office, project Director Ramon Cacatian said that the project involves the construction of six span 350 linear meters of modular steel bridge supported by five piers and road approaches. The Jones II Bridge is one of the priority projects of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo because of its importance in the agricultural communities in the municipality of Jones, San Agustin and the entire agricultural industry of Isabela province. DPWH Isabela 4th District Engineer Wilfredo Enciso said that the project would cater the transportation needs of the 5,000 hectares of corn farmers and five hectares of banana plantation in the municipality of San Agustin. “The new bridge will not only provide a 24-hour accessibility for the farmers to immediately deliver their corn products to Bulacan and Manila but it would increase the economic gains of the entire Isabela province’ Enciso added. Crossing the Cagayan River, Jones II Bridge replaces the old spillway access road which during rainy season is always unpassable due to high level of water, forcing the residents of San Agustin to take a seven-hour trip via Mandella going to Santiago City compared to the three hour trip passing by Jones II Bridge via Palagao. This P167 Million bridge project is jointly funded by the Philippine Government and the Austrian Government.
