DPWH SPEEDS UP IMPLEMENTATION OF REGION 2 PROJECTS
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region 2 Director Rodolfo K. Alday has directed all district engineers in the Cagayan Valley Region to speed-up implementation of various on-going infrastructure projects in consonance with the policy statement of Secretary Florante Soriquez.
In a recent meeting with his staff, Alday said that there is a need to double the efforts in order to meet set targets considering that prices of construction materials have gone up because of increased fuel cost and adjustment in foreign exchange which will greatly affect the implementation of project.
Delayed funding releases from the Department of Budget and Management including notices of cash Allocation (NCA) will also affect the timely completion of project.
Alday believes that through sustained effort and commitment and support of contractors, the DPWH Region 2 will be able to achieve the goals and targets set for CY 2004.
DPWH Region 2 is accelerating several Austrian funded and Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) grant bridge projects in the provinces of Isabela, Nueva Vizcaya, Quirino, and Cagayan
On-going bridge projects in Quirino include the Madaboy Bridge in Nagtipunan; Balligui Bridge in Aglipay; and Dismungal, Dumabato, and Nagtim-og Bridges in Maddela.
The construction of Casili Bridge in Mallig, Sinippil Bridge in Ilagan and Dalig Bridge in Burgos are among the on-going bridge projects in Isabela while the on-going Pacapat Bridge in Claveria is a major undertaking in Cagayan.
Presently being fast-tracked in Nueva Vizcaya is the construction of Namamparan Bridge in Diadi. Construction of Runruno Bridge in Quezon, Nueva Vizcaya, earlier completed during the first quarter of the year.
Other bridges completed and are now providing support to the President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s socio-economic development program for Region 2 include the Angad Bridge in Quirino, Inaban and Gattac Bridges in Nueva Vizcaya, and Sta. Isabel and Peña Weste Bridges in Cagayan. |
