DPWH To Build 10 Bypass Roads In Davao City This Year Under President Duterte
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Regional
Office 11 will construct ten (10) bypass roads that are intended to ease heavy
traffic now being experienced in Davao City.
According to Dean I. Ortiz, DPWH-XI Regional Public Affairs
and Information Officer, these priority projects in Davao for 2017 are products
of close coordination between the local government unit (LGU) and the DPWH.
“These roads are seen to increase the city’s potentials for
commercial, industrial and housing development as Davao City is now poised into
becoming a top contender (in growth) because of its promising economic
outlook,” Ortiz said.
Among the high impact projects bared by Ortiz is the
improvement and widening of the Catalunan Grande road which starts in Bangkal
and ends at Davao-Bukidnon road traversing Elenita Heights, in Mintal.
This project with a total length of 8.4 kilometers is worth
P751.971 million is an alternative route of the Davao-Cotabato Road going to
Davao-Bukidnon Road.
DPWH Region 11 is also set to reconstruct and widen the
following roads: the Slaughter House Road up to F. Torres Bridge with bridge
widening worth P469.4 million; bypass road at Jct. Davao City Diversion
Road-Communal-Cabantian-Tigatto Road worth P472.4 million; bypass road at Jct.
Daang Maharlika-Eliong-Jct. Acacia Road worth 244.9-M; and bypass road at Jct.
Daang Maharlika-Licanan-Bunawan-Mahayag-Indangan-Cabantian-Jct. Davao City
Diversion Road (Buhangin-Lapanday Road) worth P1.7 million.
Ortiz added that these projects are already funded under the
2017 budget of the DPWH-XI.
Surveys and road-right-of-way negotiations are now ongoing.
