The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has recently completed the retrofitting of Don Mariano Marcos Bridge along Abra-Kalinga Road, enhancing transportation safety and infrastructure resilience in the Municipality of Dolores, Abra.

The project covers the repair and upgrading of the bridge that connects Barangays Bumagcat, Tayum, and Mudiit.

The old bridge requires retrofitting to meet current seismic load requirements of the structure, and conform to the latest standard design guidelines, criteria, and specifications of the Department.
