DPWH 2ND MAGSAYSAY BRIDGE AND NEW BY-PASS ROAD PROJECT EASE TRAFFIC IN BUTUAN CITY |
Top |
| |
 Motorist and travelers are now enjoying the benefits of the 2nd Magsaysay Bridge and Butuan City By-Pass Road in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte.
Mr. Renato Bautista, a delivery truck driver, who traverses the project everyday, is very grateful to President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo for giving this SONA project in their place. He added that there is a very big difference when the bridge and by-pass road was not yet constructed. “During our daily travels, we have to queue at the old Magsaysay bridge in order to get to our destinations” he said. “Now, traveling is fast, easier, convenient and most especially no more traffic because of this project”, he added.
According to DPWH CARAGA Regional Director Romeo Momo, the project was constructed to provide a more reliable infrastructure with greater design capacity and safer traffic measures than the existing Old Magsaysay Bridge. The Butuan City Bypass Road has diverted the traffic passing through the core of the city.
“The overall infrastructure project enhances the urban transport needs for commerce and industries in the region by sustaining the efficient flow of people, goods and services among the major growth centers in the eastern part of Mindanao”, he said.
Director Momo added that the by-pass road with 13.124 kilometers length is the longest in Asia. The state-of-the-art 2nd Magsaysay Bridge is 882 meters long. It is a cable-stayed bridge and second of only two kinds in the Philippines. An 84- meter high tower divides the bridge into two spans – 200 meter at the West (longest in the Philippines) and 160 meters at the East. |

 Tagged as the Working President, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo continues to work hard amidst political anxiety in the country. Arrived at the airport of Butuan City last April 3, 2008. Pres. Arroyo together with Sec. Arthur Cua Yap of the Dept. of Agriculture and entourage were welcomed by the Regional Manager of NFA-CARAGA (Nat’l. Food Authority) Gil Pepito B. Paqueo, Cong. Joboy Aquino, Butuan City Mayor Democrito “Boy Daku” Plaza, other LGU Officials and Government Agencies.
The President and her party inspected the storage area of NFA, making sure that there is sufficient supply of rice to feed the whole region. The President also instructed DPWH to improve situations of Farm-to-Market Roads, particularly the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road, giving additional allotment of P200M, for the products to arrive from the point of production to the point of distribution. She also instructed the PNP to escort truck loads of rice so that it won’t be endangered to the hands of bandits. The safety of the transportation of rice is very important since the country is currently experiencing rice shortage.
After the inspection, the President went to Almont Inland Resort where dignitaries awaits her arrival in the personality of Raul Gonzales,( Secretary of Justice), Lito Atienza (DENR Secretary) Congressmen from Surigao del Norte and SDN-2nd, Cong. Matugas and Cong. Romarate
Regional Director Romeo S. Momo was further instructed by the President regarding the P!77M allotment given to Surigao del Norte 2nd for the repair of two bridges in Malimono.
CARAGA has an appropriation of P3.5B for the year 2008 as a counter part for Foreign assisted projects. With this allotment, it is expected to answer the many needs of various infrastructures within the region.
It is still a continuing challenge for DPWH to address the needs of every people in improving what has been started in establishing a more stabilized landscape of CARAGA Region. |

 In preparation for the prolonged rainy days as a result of the La Niña phenomenon here in the Philippines, PAGASA (Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration) have forecasted that it would be a rainy summer this year. This district have already anticipated the occurrence of the rise of water as heavy rain continues to fall and readily made a solution to avoid any natural disasters in the future.
The Rehabilitation of Camagong Flood Control will safeguard the 3, 539 population of Barangay Camagong and the 675 number of households in that area including the fishponds of bangus and tilapia which are the town folk’s main source of income. During rainy days the strong current and volume of water coming from Tacob Busai (Water Falls)overflows down to the community, causing flood at knee-high.
The contract date of the project started last January 9, 2008 with a Program Amount of P10M, under contract with ADFIL Corporation and under the supervision of Project Engineer Marieta Castro of this district.
As of February 29, 2008 actual accomplishment is at 27.11%. The project is targeted to be finished on June 7, 2008.
The Flood Control Project will ensure the protection of the fisheries industry of Brgy. Camagong from the danger of natural calamities as it could greatly affect the economic status of the Municipality of Nasipit
In health, it is said that prevention is better than cure, same with the safety of the lives of the common people from experiencing any foreseen dangers. |
