CITY OF SAN FERNANDO—The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in a news release said that it is set to open the new Friendship Bridge along the Friendship Circumferential Road West in Angeles City.

However, the DPWH, in its news release on Thursday, did not specify the exact date of opening of the said structure to public traffic. The said project was completed last January 15, 2019.

“DPWH Secretary Mark Villar will lead the inauguration of the new P130-million infrastructure facility in Barangay Anunas, Angeles City constructed under the national government’s ‘Build, Build, Build’ program,” the DPWH added.

DPWH Region III Director Roseller Tolentino said the project included the construction of additional two lanes and road widening, as well as maintenance work such as repainting using anti-corrosion paint on metal structures and repair of cracks on the Friendship bridge.

“We constructed the new bridge and approach with a total net length of 618 meters, and an additional bridge with a length of 240.8 linear meters, 2 lanes RCDG on Bored Pile foundation and approaches,” Tolentino said.
