CABARROGUIS, Quirino, May 11 (PIA) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways, Quirino Engineering District (DPWH-QED) reported the near completion of the reconstruction of abutment and span approaches of Tungcab bridge along Cordon-Aurora boundary in Maddela, Quirino. | |||
Engr. Jeremias A. Pascual, chief, planning and design section of the QED, said that they have accomplished 74 percent of the programmed works and is expected to be completed by June 13, 2012. | |||
Pascual said upon its completion the agricultural communities in the municipalities of Maddela, Nagtipunan and some parts of Aurora province can already deliver their products to the market areas easily. | |||
“It will also prevent isolation of the inner municipalities to the other municipalities of the province,” Pascual added. | |||
The project includes the reconstruction of abutment “B” and Span 3 and approaches “B” with the following scope of work: removal of structure and obstruction, embankment, reinforcing steel bars, grouted riprap, stone masonry, gravel craneway and rechanneling. | |||
The bridge reconstruction was started last February 15, 2011 by the MAR-DEB Construction and Development, the contractor that won the bidding in December. | |||
The project cost is P15,306,517.22 and it was sourced out from the calamity fund of the province. | |||
Tungcab Bridge was damaged by Typhoon “Pedring” in September, isolating Quirino from the coastal towns of Isabela and Aurora, as well as Maddela and Nagtipunan towns from rest of the province. (TCB/PIA 2) | |||
