Manila, May 18 (Engineering Daily) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is working for the completion of additional four (4) lanes from existing 2-lane Bolobolo Bridge and approaches along Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road (BCIR), in the city of El Salvador, Misamis Oriental province.
This P149-million project will benefit the local farmers in facilitating better transport of products to bigger markets in the city and improve the travel experience of both locals and tourists to and from the province’s gateway, Laguindingan International Airport.
More than the expected impact on the agricultural growth in the province, the completion of the project is seen to boost tourism as BCIR leads to the beautiful beaches of Loguilo and Opol in the municipalities of Alubijid and Opol, Misamis Oriental.
The project is part of the Department’s program to widen existing vital permanent bridges along Butuan-Cagayan de Oro-Iligan Road.
Other bridge projects that are on track for completion within 2018 include the Alae, Alubijid, and Opol Bridges.
