LANAO DEL SUR (PNA) -- The newly constructed bridge along the Marawi-Masiu national road opened this week, provincial governor Soraya Alonto Adiong said Tuesday.
Adiong said that the 37.2 linear meter bridge costs PHP32 million, taken from the provincial government’s general appropriation fund last year.
She said that the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) supervised the construction of the bridge along the section of the municipality of Poona Bayabao.
The bridge would provide safety to the public commuters and travelers who pass the national road to the neighboring municipalities in Lanao Del Sur, Adiong said.
She said that the traders and other people engaged in business can now easily transport their goods and services to Marawi City and nearby municipalities, which could help perk the local economies.
Vice Mayor Lampa Pandi of Poona Bayabao town said the new bridge replaced a dilapidated 50-year-old bridge that was merely made of steel.
Pandi said that accidents and deaths happened on the old bridge due to its worn-out state.
