MOTORISTS traveling between Pangasinan and Zambales may now use as an alternate route the new 54-kilometer Pangasinan-Zambales road although roadwork is not yet fully completed.

“Na-open na yon pero hindi pa nalagyan ng gravel,” said Rodolfo “Boy” Dion, head of the second engineering district in Pangasinan.

This new road is shorter than the circuitous route via the western town of Infanta or Mangatarem in central Pangasinan passing thru Tarlac province.

The Pangasinan side of the new highway is 19 kilometers long starting from Mangatarem.

In another development, Dion said the perennially flooded Mayombo-Caranglaan road in Dagupan City is scheduled for reconstruction this year. The P40-million project covers drainage construction, similar to work done at the Arellano-Bani road.

The upgrading of the Binmaley beach road is also due for implementation this year. –PIA
