Portion of Davao del Norte-Bukidnon highway collapses

Posted on by cmn

DAVAO CITY – Drivers of public utility vans, buses, cargo trucks, and multi-axle trucks bound for Bukidnon from Davao del Norte or bound for Davao del Norte from Bukidnon are advised to take the Davao City-Bukidnon route instead as a portion of the highway in San Fernando town in Bukidnon collapsed due to continuous heavy rains.

The travel advisory was issued last January 14 by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in the Davao region.

It said a portion of Talaingod (Davao Del Norte)-Valencia (Bukidnon) road, particularly in Sitio Balacayo in Barangay Kalagangan, “is currently one-lane passable to LIGHT VEHICLES only due to road collapse.”

“Motorists are advised to take necessary precautions while traveling due to the prevailing weather conditions,” it said.

In San Fernando, Bukidnon, the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) on its Facebook page said the DPWH in Bukidnon and the local government unit are working on the repair. The LDRRMO called on the public not to pass this way “kay dilikado pa gihapon” (because it is still dangerous).

Travel time between Davao del Norte and Bukidnon is shorter via this route compared with the Davao City to Bukidnon route. (MindaNews)

Agusan-Malaybalay road nears completion

Posted on by cmn

BUTUAN CITY (Jan. 29) – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Caraga is undergoing road construction projects, which will contribute to faster and more convenient travel and delivery of local products in the different parts of the region and Mindanao.

Among these projects include the Agusan-Malaybalay Road worth PHP1.1-billion which is already 77.62 percent complete as of December 2019.

The construction has started in the year 2015 and is expected to be completed this year 2020.

With this development, the locals in Esperanza, Agusan del Sur were delighted and eager to benefit more from the Agusan-Malaybalay Road. It helps them deliver their products easily to the market.

Rosie Echinique, a resident from Esperanza, was emotional in expressing her appreciation to the government. She hoped that this kind of project would benefit more locals and improve their way of living. She also stressed that for almost three decades living in the area, it was only this administration that she experienced to have well-constructed roads.

“We have seen and felt the concern of the government for us and we have high hopes that more Mindanaoans would be able to benefit and experience an improved quality of life,” said Echinique.

Meanwhile, DPWH-Caraga regional director Pol Delos Santos bared that due to the recent earthquakes recorded in some parts of Mindanao, the department has been continuously inspecting various infrastructures in the region, which include the Magsaysay Bridge in Butuan City that was opened to the public since May 19, 1953.

According to Director Delos Santos, the Magsaysay Bridge is still in good condition and was not affected by the series of quakes experienced in Mindanao. (Jennifer P. Gaitano /NCLM, PIA-Agusan del Sur)
