DPWH SPEEDS UP COMPLETION OF CEBU NORTH COASTAL ROAD PROJECT |
Top |
| |
 Considering its importance in the fast growing economy of Cebu Province, the Department of Public Works and Highways reported the fast track implementation of the Cebu North Coastal Road Project Phase 1 in Mandaue City.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr., Undersecretary Rafael C. Yabut, in charge of DPWH Visayas Operation, said that the Phase 1 of the project is now 72.9% complete.
“ The Cebu North Coastal Road Project is one of the components of the Industrial Corridor Link of Cebu Province, which other sections are included under the Metro Cebu Development Project II and III” Yabut said.
Yabut also said that once completed this road project will improve the infrastructure facilities especially in Mandaue City and municipalities of Consolacion and Liloan which is now one of the major towns that are considered as an alternative business investment area because Cebu City is now a congested business metropolis.
Cebu Coastal Road project is divided into two packages, package 1 includes Phase one and two; Phase 1 involves the civil works in preparation for the construction of bridge and approaches; Phase 2 includes the construction of Cansaga Bridge and approaches while Package 2 includes the construction of roads including the Suba Bridge, Tayud Underpass and Pedestrian Overpass.
Included in the SONA Project of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Package 1 is at the moment sourced from the regular Infrastructure fund while Package II is now being processed by the National Economic Development Authority for foreign loan financing.
The total cost of the entire project is P2.3 Billion. In 2007, President Arroyo released a total of P55 Million for the road right-of-way acquisition and P45 Million for the civil works. For this year, the amount of P400 Million has been allocated to cover the continuation of the construction of Cansaga Bridge and approaches, consultancy services and administration cost.
The remaining balance will be distributed on 2009 (P999.2 Million) and 2010 (P809.4 Million) for the remaining road right-of-way payments and the completion of the entire project before the end of President Arroyo’s term on 2010. |

DPWH TO START NAUTICAL HIGHWAY PROJECT IN NORTHERN CEBU |

 In support with President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo’s thrust in cutting down the travel time of cargo trucks going in and out of the Visayas region, the Department of Public Works and Highways will start this month the construction of the Bogo-Curva-Medellin-Daanbantayan-Maya Road in Northern Cebu.
In his report to Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. DPWH Region VII Director Josefino Rigor said that the project was recently awarded to the contractor and it would be finished within four months.
“ This project will not only complement with the Nautical Highway Program of President Arroyo but it will also greatly contribute in the tourism industry because Northern Cebu is known for its island beaches and coastal resorts” Rigor added.
Mr. Elver Ali Abucay, Chairman of Brgy. Maya in Bantayan said that the concreting of their national road would not only improve the accessibility in their barangay but it would also provide employment opportunities among the residents because their barangay is the entry point of the RoRo Port that is being constructed by the Philippine Ports Authority, and it is only the access road going to the island of Malapasqua which is one of the major tourist destinations in Cebu.
For CY 2008, this P41 Million road project involves the concreting of 3,032 lineal meters of road which is programmed to be completed by November this year. |

DPWH ACCELERATES WORKS ON CEBU SUBWAY PROJECT |
Top |

 In support with the fast growing economy of Cebu City, the Department of Public Works and Highways reported the fast track implementation of the Segment 3B-2, Subway Section of the Cebu South Coastal Road Project.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr., DPWH Metro Cebu Development Project Director Nilo Pamaylaon said that the subway section is now 40.48% complete.
“The completion of this subway project will provide direct access to the southern reclamation area which is now a highly industrial zone, catering to the export processing, investment opportunities, business district and international container port in Cebu City” Pamaylaon said.
The project involves the construction of 610 meter twin box 4-lane tunnel that passes underneath the Park Plaza Independencia which is located beside the famous Fort San Pedro and existing Sergio Osmeña Road.
Meanwhile, Mr. Paul Villarete, City Planning and Development Coordinator of Cebu City said that since the DPWH had completed the first four packages of the Cebu South Coastal Road project, investors had poured in within the Cebu South Reclamation Project which greatly contributed in the fast growing economy of Cebu City.
“ Eventhough that the project is not yet fully completed because of the remaining works in the tunnel section, we are already experiencing the advantages of this new road network because since the DPWH had opened the Talisay Section, Causeway Section, Viaduct Section and the Offshore ramps the traffic in the Cebu metropolis was greatly reduced because of the new alternate road” Villarete added.
According to Mr. Isoji Matsui, Project Manager of the Katahira & Engineers International, consultant of the project, the contractor is experiencing some delays in boring sheet piles because of concrete boulders underneath due to old structures such as seawalls but they preparing a catch up measures to complete the project by June 2009. |
