New bridge up in Bayambang soon
BAYAMBANG–A new P50-million bridge, connecting this town to Bautista, will be erected to replace the heavily damaged Calvo Bridge.
The new bridge project, initiated by 3rd District Rep. Rachel Arenas, will benefit farmers and traders in central Pangasinan who transport their produce from Bautista, Alcala, Sto. Tomas, Rosales to the province of Tarlac through the Manila North Road.
The groundbreaking for the project last Friday was led by Arenas with town officials, including Mayor Ricardo Camacho, and representatives from the Department of Public Works and Highways.
Arenas thanked President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane for their prompt response to her request for the project.
The Calvo Bridge, damaged during the 1990 earthquake, has already undergone several major repairs over the last two decades.
Construction for the new bridge will be started in September by winning contractor RoadTech Construction.
Completion is expected within one year. #
