The Department of Public Works and Highways has re-opened to vehicular traffic the bailey bridge along Butuan City - Talacogon - Loreto - Veruela - Sta. Fe National secondary road in Agusan del Sur that partially collapsed yesterday (June 20, 2014).
Two middle lanes of España Boulevard from P. Campa Street to N. Reyes Street are now open to motorists after thirteen (13) days of round-the-clock road improvement works.
This was after Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) finished early Wednesday (June 18) the Stage 2 of the Concreting with Drainage Improvement of España Boulevard or the construction on 762.6-square meter middle lanes of España Boulevard.
Tagabaka bailey bridge along Butuan City - Talacogon - Loreto - Veruela - Sta. Fe National secondary road in Agusan del Sur partially collapsed due to passage of heavy loaded truck.
According to Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Region 13 Director Danilo Verzola, the bailey bridge capacity is only for five (5) tons, however, overloaded cargo trucks weighing 25 to 35 tons are passing along that route.
Trucks loaded with falcata logs are usually passing through that bridge, Verzola added.
