DPWH set to replace damaged bridge in Iligan City (http://www.pia.gov.ph/?m=12&fi=p090422.htm&no=39)

by Rutchie Cabahug-Aguhob

Cagayan de Oro City (22 April) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has recommended the demolition of the Agus Bridge in Barangay Maria Cristina in Iligan City and construct a triple-span pre-stressed concrete bridge on bored-pile bent type and supports for two intermediate piers.

The 74-meter single-span steel truss which was severely damaged by the April 20 bombings.

The incident, which took place a few days after a commander of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) defected in Lanao del Norte, resulted in the sudden sagging of the bridge and distortion of its members.

DPWH-10 Regional Director Jerome M. Dela Rosa said because of the already corroded steel truss framing system of the damaged bridge and the sagging effect caused by the bombing, they have recommended the construction of a new bridge to replace it.

“Retrofitting and replacing the damaged sections with new materials would not help because the other members of the steel truss are already stressed. Besides, the bridge might serve only for a few years since its location is too close to the sea where corrosion is excessive,” Dela Rosa added.

Temporary Detour route to be use for vehicles as Agus bridge are currently being repaired as of this moment..
Tinago-Taytay Road Red Line are primary use for traffic coming from Zambo and MisOc routes..

Maze Route Cyan Line are mostly used as for incoming traffic from CDeO, Bukidnon, and Surigao

NOTE: Anything vehicles exceeds 5 tons cannot cross in Maria Christina Bridge which is situated right above the head of Maria Christina Falls...
All excessive vehicles are required to unload their cargoes and to be transfer to the other side through the use of smaller vehicles or hand carrying it by some people in that area... mostly suffered on this are the fish carrier trucks in which the fresh caught fishes
are always got delayed arrived in Wet markets in Iligan...

RP's tallest bridge to open in Southern Leyte (http://http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=468670&publicationSubCategoryId=67)
By Evelyn Macairan Updated May 18, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - If the province of Leyte boasts of the country’s longest bridge, the 2.16-kilometer San Juanico Bridge, its neighboring province of Southern Leyte will soon have the honor of having the tallest bridge, the Agas-Agas, with a height of 85 meters.

Public Works and Highways Undersecretary for the Visayas Rafael Yabut said work on the Agas-Agas Bridge is seven percent ahead of schedule.

Yabut said Japanese contractor Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co. Ltd. reported that the bridge is now 91 percent complete, with work expected to wrap up in August.

The bridge, which spans 300 meters, is part of the Daang Maharlika Highway. Its construction is among President Arroyo’s priority projects.

“We increased the height of the bridge to make it safe and comfortable for the motorists. Instead of chopping off a portion of the mountain, which would have been necessary to construct the bridge, we just elevated it to avoid the mountainous sections that are prone to landslides and road slips during heavy rains,” Yabut said.

To help boost the tourism in the area, Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. has ordered the construction of a viewing deck in the bridge’s mid-portion so motorists could take a view of the surrounding mountainous areas and forests.

“This (viewdeck) will be a first of its kind, and it can also be used in the future for bungee jumping,” Yabut said.

He said there will also be comfort rooms and sheds constructed on both sides of the bridge where weary motorists can relax and rest.

THE subway section of the Cebu South Coastal Road Project that will connect the South Road Properties (SRP) and Sergio Osmeña St. will be completed by December this year, said Project Director Nilo Pamaylaon of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Hikunori Maeda, project manager of the Japanese contractor, Kajima Corp., explained the situation to Director General Hermogenes Esperon of the Presidential Management Staff (PMS) during a briefing yesterday on the project.

Obstructions delayed the project, Maeda said, but these were already solved.

Cebu City Mayor Tomas Osmeña welcomed the planned opening of the tunnel later this year, saying this will improve the marketability of the South Road Properties (SRP).

He said the tunnel will increase traffic going in and out of the 302-hectare SRP, which will attract investors there.

Undersecretary Rafael Yabut accompanied Esperon yesterday in inspecting the project, which consists of a 610-meter twin box tunnel, a 185-meter reinforced concrete retaining structure and 177.50 meters of roadwork for the north approach.

The tunnel stretches as high as a three-story building, about 10 meters in the upper level and 17 meters below, where the drainage is located.

The 4-lane tunnel passes underneath Plaza Independencia, outside Fort San Pedro, and exits on Sergio Osmeña St. (formerly McArthur Blvd.) in Cebu City.

Work on the subway section, with a contract amount of P1.387 billion, began on June 28, 2006 and is supposed to be completed on Nov. 25, 2009.

However, with the obstructions during the construction as explained by Maeda, the project may be completed in December this year yet.

Deadline

As of yesterday, 70 percent was already accomplished, said Maeda, and the remaining 30 percent includes the ventilation
on both ends of the tunnel, as well as lights.

Esperon said that Malacañang instructed to regularly monitor infrastructure projects so these can be completed before President Arroyo’s term ends in June next year.

In his news conference, Osmeña said he expects traffic to ease on N. Bacalso Ave. once the tunnel opens.

“I’m very happy that I was able to prove all my critics wrong.

When I proposed the South Coastal Road, they said, ‘What for when nobody goes there?’ No one goes there because there’s no road but now there’s a lot of traffic and it will be more when the tunnel is opened,” Osmeña said.

“The tunnel should improve traffic at the SRP, and it will make it more marketable,” Osmeña added. (EOB/LCR)

THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has proposed an underground route along Roxas Boulevard which would connect Manila’s airports and seaports after projections showed that there will be traffic congestion in the area by 2015, which may also affect movement of cargoes.

The DPWH on Thursday said it sent in May the proposal for a P34.54-billion Metro Manila Tunnel Expressway, which will take five years to construct, to the National Economic and Development Authority. The DPWH completed the study in December last year.

“The most significant benefit to be generated by the proposed expressway is the improvement of accessibility to the [Manila] North Harbor and South Harbor. Since both harbors contain the major transport facilities for cargo movements in Metro Manila, the efficiency of cargo transport would be greatly improved,” the DPWH proposal indicated.

North Harbor is the country’s biggest domestic port, while South Harbor is the country’s second-largest container terminal that also handles bulk cargoes.

Manila Harbour Centre, a private port that claims to handle the biggest bulk cargo in the country, also operates within the North Harbor area.

Phase 1 of the tunnel-expressway project involves an eight-kilometer underground road from MIA Road through the whole stretch of Roxas Boulevard, which will cost about P9.9 billion.

The second phase involves a 20-kilometer stretch from P. Burgos Street to North Luzon Expressway through Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela, at a cost of P24.64 billion.



The funding for the project may come from a mix of international sources, such as those from the multilateral agencies, while the rest will be shouldered by the government.

DPWH Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said the project envisions cutting travel time from R-10 in the Manila North Harbor to Las Piñas to just 10 minutes using the tunnel.

“The projected expressway connects the northern and southern parts of Metro Manila and will permit higher travel speeds, thereby greatly improving traffic capacity and flow in the north and south direction. This route will serve as a bypass for traffic from the North Luzon Expressway to the port area and further south,’’ said Maria Catalina Cabral, DPWH assistant secretary for planning.

At present, Coastal Road, just one of the few routes going to Cavite province, is heavily congested, and the average travel speed is less than 10 kilometers per hour during peak hours.

“The existing heavy traffic congestion on the Coastal Road has been seriously deteriorating the port-cargo movement,” the study said, adding that the truck ban during peak hours has exacerbated the situation.

“The proposed Metro Manila Tunnel Expressway project is expected to play a key role in achieving more efficient cargo transportation by changing cargo-traffic movement significantly and solving the port-access problem. The completion of the project will allow cargo traffic to pass without being hampered by or adding to urban congestion,” the proposal said.

Cabral explained that traffic congestion in Metro Manila’s 50-kilometer radius will worsen even more as the metropolis’s population and car-volume increase, overtaking the road-network capacity.

By 2015, the population in Metro Manila would have reached 25.72 million and car ownership would have increased to 2.34 million vehicles. (With P. Atienza)

Phase 1 of the tunnel-expressway project involves an eight-kilometer underground road from MIA Road through the whole stretch of Roxas Boulevard, which will cost about P9.9 billion.

The second phase involves a 20-kilometer stretch from P. Burgos Street to North Luzon Expressway through Malabon, Navotas and Valenzuela, at a cost of P24.64 billion.



The funding for the project may come from a mix of international sources, such as those from the multilateral agencies, while the rest will be shouldered by the government.

DPWH Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said the project envisions cutting travel time from R-10 in the Manila North Harbor to Las Piñas to just 10 minutes using the tunnel.

“The projected expressway connects the northern and southern parts of Metro Manila and will permit higher travel speeds, thereby greatly improving traffic capacity and flow in the north and south direction. This route will serve as a bypass for traffic from the North Luzon Expressway to the port area and further south,’’ said Maria Catalina Cabral, DPWH assistant secretary for planning.

At present, Coastal Road, just one of the few routes going to Cavite province, is heavily congested, and the average travel speed is less than 10 kilometers per hour during peak hours.

“The existing heavy traffic congestion on the Coastal Road has been seriously deteriorating the port-cargo movement,” the study said, adding that the truck ban during peak hours has exacerbated the situation.

“The proposed Metro Manila Tunnel Expressway project is expected to play a key role in achieving more efficient cargo transportation by changing cargo-traffic movement significantly and solving the port-access problem. The completion of the project will allow cargo traffic to pass without being hampered by or adding to urban congestion,” the proposal said.

Cabral explained that traffic congestion in Metro Manila’s 50-kilometer radius will worsen even more as the metropolis’s population and car-volume increase, overtaking the road-network capacity.

By 2015, the population in Metro Manila would have reached 25.72 million and car ownership would have increased to 2.34 million vehicles. (With P. Atienza)

The Philippines scored the second worst in terms of infrastructure in this year’s World Competitiveness Yearbook, according to the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Policy Center, the local partner of Switzerland-based Institute of Management Development.

Out of 57 countries surveyed, the Philippines ranked 56th.

Overall, the country ranked 43rd, or two notches down from last year, and was the lowest among 11 Asia-Pacific nations included in the survey.

The World Competitiveness Yearbook measured a country’s performance on four “competitiveness factors,” namely economic performance, government efficiency, business efficiency and infrastructure.

“Infrastructure is extremely critical. Urgent action is needed and failure to do so will pull down our performance in the other [competitiveness] factors as well,” Felipe Alfonso, AIM interim president, said.

Ma. Lourdes Sereno, AIM Policy Center executive director, said the country must not only invest in basic infrastructure, but also in technological, scientific and social—health and education—infrastructure.

The survey noted that the Philippines’ rankings in the areas of water transportation, energy infrastructure and future energy supply have worsened. The country also has a poor performance in scientific infrastructure, and is in the bottom rung in the education sector. The country is ranked last in basic infrastructure.

Sereno said the government should create and track an infrastructure development plan, which will include not only hard infrastructure but also energy, education and scientific infrastructure.

Rockwell span, Mindanao underpass, Tandang Sora flyover done by year-end

By Joel E. Zurbano

A bridge across Pasig River linking the cities of Makati and Mandaluyong at Rockwell Center, an underpass and flyover on the C-5 Road extension in Quezon City will be finished this December, a key official said.

Engineer Edilberto Tayao, director of Public Works Department for Metro Manila, said the timetable was on target for the P204-million Pantaleon-Estrella Bridge, the P400-million underpass on Mindanao Avenue along with the P520-million Tandang Sora-Luzon Avenue flyover.

“The bridge will be parallel to the Guadalupe Bridge,” he said, tracing the route connecting Rockwell to Barangka at the former site of Noah’s Ark Sugar Refinery.

As planned, the three-span truss bridge with its approaches would be almost a kilometer long when completed.

Tayao said the projects would give motorists and other road-users more options in avoiding gridlock-prone sections of the metropolis.

According to him, the Ciriaco Construction Corp. has started the 700-meter long Mindanao underpass joining C-5’s Segment 8.1, a 2.7-kilometer stretch to the North Luzon Expressway in Valenzuela City.

“The purpose of this underpass is for motorists not to disturb the flow of traffic at the intersection of Mindanao Avenue and Quirino Highway,” said Tayao, noting that the choice of infrastructure is based on given specifications.

“The decision depends on the terrain where the project is applicable. Our evaluation showed that the underpass was economical. The underpass has a 500-meter length but if you go for a flyover it would be 700 lineal meters because of the terrain.”

Undersecretary Romeo Momo, in charge of Northern Luzon operations, said the Tandang Sora-Luzon flyover was 500 lineal meters including approaches with four lanes at two lanes per direction. It would have access to Commonwealth Avenue and C-5 and vice versa, allowing motorists to avoid the U-turn slots.

Both underpass and overpass form a key section of the C-5 extension linking the South and North Luzon tollways.

Tunnel expressway crossed out

As quickly as it floated the idea, the Department of Public Works and Highways is dropping the plan to build a P35-billion tunnel linking the North and South Luzon toll roads.

Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. said the agency instead would focus on completing ongoing projects.

“It is not viable. Our studies show that it is very expensive, and there are much better options to address the congestion problems,” he said.

“Let us reserve our dreams for the future, and concentrate on what is doable.”

As proposed to the National Economic and Development Authority, the underground road would stretch from Roxas Boulevard, snaking through the cities of Navotas, Malabon and Valenzuela in the north, and Las Piñas and Parañaque in the south.

The Metro Manila Tunnel Expressway concept noted that by 2015, population in National Capital Region would balloon to 25,720,000 along with 2,340,000 vehicles.

“The transport situation in Greater Metro Manila will considerably worsen unless effective policy measures are instituted in an integrated manner. People here are projected to make 43.7 million ‘motorized’ trips daily by 2015,” a study said.

In the waterfront, gridlock not only bogs down motorists but impedes commerce as trucks are banned by the day, thus making the Manila port “unattractive as cargo transport center in the Southeast Asian region.” Joel E. Zurbano

Cebu-Bohol bridge on track; $3M to fund study

from Sunstar Cebu

By Gerome M. Dalipe



TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol - The proposed construction of the 90-kilometer Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge is “on track,” with a foreign agency pledging to release funds for its feasibility study, an official said.

Bohol Gov. Erico Aumentado announced yesterday that the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) of Korea has pledged about $3 million as a grant for the feasibility study.

For updates from around the country, follow Sun.Star on Twitter

“I am happy to report to the RDC that one of our mega-projects, the Bohol-Cebu Multi-Access Friendship Bridge, now has the support of EDCF,” Aumentado told the Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 during their full council meeting here.

Request for funding

The RDC in Central Visayas asked the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to endorse to the Korean government their request for funding assistance for the feasibility study on the proposed bridge, the first between Cebu and Bohol.

Aumentado said he will meet with the Korean ambassador on July 28 to “thresh out the mechanics of the project.”

Garcia congratulated Aumentado for the development.

In an interview with reporters, Aumentado confirmed endorsements from various agencies are required for the funding to be released.

The proposed bridge project will have to be endorsed by DPWH, the Neda Investment Coordination Committee technical board, Neda board and the foreign affairs secretary.

Aumentado said it is the foreign affairs secretary who will then endorse the request for funding to the Korean government.

The Bohol governor believes the bridge project will improve commerce, technology sharing and the exchange of power and water between Bohol and Cebu.

Conceived in 2006

Aumentado said the project was conceptualized in 2006 yet. But due to the lack of funds, the feasibility study was not started.

The 90-kilometer bridge’s construction is expected to cost at least P20 billion.

“Funding for the actual project implementation is not a problem.

We can have it through BOT (build-operate-transfer) or a loan. But I prefer it done through a BOT,” Aumentado said.

Once the bridge is up, Aumentado said it will be easier to bring water from Bohol to Cebu, in contrast to earlier proposals to use submarine pipes.

Bohol, in turn, can also take advantage of the bridge to tap Cebu’s excess power, he said.

The operation of the Kepco and Global Power plants in 2011 is expected to generate an additional 200 megawatts for Cebu.

‘Follow the process’

Aumentado said that when he attended the recent Asean South Korea summit with President Arroyo, a Korean embassy official informed him that his government was “willing to give due course” to the request for $3 million for a feasibility study on the proposed bridge, “provided that we follow the process.”

^^ This should push through. Both Islands will benefit from each other be it tourism or just plain business. $3M is quite huge for this study since galing naman sa Korean government okay lang :lol:

If you're talking about cable-stayed bridges, the Philippines already has those. If you mean cable-stayed bridges which lead to tunnels, then we definitely don't have any.

TAGBILARAN CITY, Bohol - The proposed construction of the 90-kilometer Cebu-Bohol Friendship Bridge is “on track,” with a foreign agency pledging to release funds for its feasibility study, an official said.

Bohol Gov. Erico Aumentado announced yesterday that the Economic Development Cooperation Fund (EDCF) of Korea has pledged about $3 million as a grant for the feasibility study.

“I am happy to report to the RDC that one of our mega-projects, the Bohol-Cebu Multi-Access Friendship Bridge, now has the support of EDCF,” Aumentado told the Regional Development Council (RDC) 7 during their full council meeting here.

Request for funding

The RDC in Central Visayas asked the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) to endorse to the Korean government their request for funding assistance for the feasibility study on the proposed bridge, the first between Cebu and Bohol.

Aumentado said he will meet with the Korean ambassador on July 28 to “thresh out the mechanics of the project.”

Garcia congratulated Aumentado for the development.

In an interview with reporters, Aumentado confirmed endorsements from various agencies are required for the funding to be released.

The proposed bridge project will have to be endorsed by DPWH, the Neda Investment Coordination Committee technical board, Neda board and the foreign affairs secretary.

Aumentado said it is the foreign affairs secretary who will then endorse the request for funding to the Korean government.

The Bohol governor believes the bridge project will improve commerce, technology sharing and the exchange of power and water between Bohol and Cebu.

Conceived in 2006

Aumentado said the project was conceptualized in 2006 yet. But due to the lack of funds, the feasibility study was not started.

The 90-kilometer bridge’s construction is expected to cost at least P20 billion.

“Funding for the actual project implementation is not a problem.

We can have it through BOT (build-operate-transfer) or a loan. But I prefer it done through a BOT,” Aumentado said.

Once the bridge is up, Aumentado said it will be easier to bring water from Bohol to Cebu, in contrast to earlier proposals to use submarine pipes.

Bohol, in turn, can also take advantage of the bridge to tap Cebu’s excess power, he said.

The operation of the Kepco and Global Power plants in 2011 is expected to generate an additional 200 megawatts for Cebu.

‘Follow the process’

Aumentado said that when he attended the recent Asean South Korea summit with President Arroyo, a Korean embassy official informed him that his government was “willing to give due course” to the request for $3 million for a feasibility study on the proposed bridge, “provided that we follow the process.”

I really can smell the 2010 election... :banana:

I am not against development, but i hope this project will not push through...Such a waste of time and money and I dont know if it gives a positive economic impact to both provinces.

Di pa nga masyado maganda ang infrastructure nang Bohol at Cebu at ayon, nagplano na naman nang engrandeng proyekto...For what?

Talaga skewed ang mga opisyales natin when it comes to identifying which project is important, needed and should be done first.

Pinugos ra gud kaayo ni nga project!!!

Sorry to disagree...I really dont think that we have to waste $3M worth of money just to do a study for something we know is not so practical at this time.

Putting railways in Mindanao and putting up new airports around the country, now that's practical.

Why not divide the Php20 billion to Cebu and Bohol...With P10 billion of investment, I think, that's enough to start with Cebu's Transaxial project.... :)

^^I beg to differ regarding new airports around the country. Renovating or improving the existing ones should be more practical.

By the way, could you explain its lack of viability? I'm not from those 2 islands.

RP's tallest bridge to open in Southern Leyte (http://http://www.philstar.com/Article.aspx?articleId=468670&publicationSubCategoryId=67)
By Evelyn Macairan Updated May 18, 2009 12:00 AM


MANILA, Philippines - If the province of Leyte boasts of the country’s longest bridge, the 2.16-kilometer San Juanico Bridge, its neighboring province of Southern Leyte will soon have the honor of having the tallest bridge, the Agas-Agas, with a height of 85 meters.

Public Works and Highways Undersecretary for the Visayas Rafael Yabut said work on the Agas-Agas Bridge is seven percent ahead of schedule.

Yabut said Japanese contractor Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co. Ltd. reported that the bridge is now 91 percent complete, with work expected to wrap up in August.

The bridge, which spans 300 meters, is part of the Daang Maharlika Highway. Its construction is among President Arroyo’s priority projects.

“We increased the height of the bridge to make it safe and comfortable for the motorists. Instead of chopping off a portion of the mountain, which would have been necessary to construct the bridge, we just elevated it to avoid the mountainous sections that are prone to landslides and road slips during heavy rains,” Yabut said.

To help boost the tourism in the area, Public Works and Highways Secretary Hermogenes Ebdane Jr. has ordered the construction of a viewing deck in the bridge’s mid-portion so motorists could take a view of the surrounding mountainous areas and forests.

“This (viewdeck) will be a first of its kind, and it can also be used in the future for bungee jumping,” Yabut said.

He said there will also be comfort rooms and sheds constructed on both sides of the bridge where weary motorists can relax and rest.

90 kilometer bridge for approximately $500,000? I'm afraid it could be much more than that. One cloverleaf in L.A. was tagged at $1 billion.

Bridge will also be used for 'semi-bungee jumping'

MANILA - President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will inaugurate on Sunday (August 10) the "country's tallest bridge--the 85-meter tall Agas-Agas Bridge" located in barangay Kahupian in the municipality of Sogod, Southern Leyte.

In a statement, the Office of the Press Secretary said "the P1.024 -billion bridge project is part of the Daang Maharlika Highway espoused in the President's Super Regions economic development plan priority infrastructure program."

"The bridge was constructed to serve as a permanent solution to the natural movements of loose soil aggregates, or landslides, in this mountainous area during rainy days reportedly due to a fault line that hinder traffic when the highway is blocked, sometimes resulting in loss of lives and properties," the OPS said on Saturday.

"Considered an engineering masterpiece, the Agas-Agas bridge would provide a safe connection from the Daang Maharlika to Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, like the ones existing in Matnog, Sorsogon, Allen, Samar, and the Liloan Ferry Terminal, in Southern Leyte connecting all the way to Surigao," the OPS added.

The project, which started construction in 2006, was undertaken by the Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co., Ltd.. It is funded by the Japan International Cooperation Agency under the second phase of the Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway Rehabilitation Project.

The OPS said the bridge "is considered as one of the vital road networks in Eastern Visayas that will boost tourism and the economy of the region."

Bungee jumping

President Arroyo, the OPS said, will also witness the "launching of the Agas-Agas Bridge as an extreme sports destination due to its 'uncanny height' which is ideal for semi-bungee jumping, zip line rapelling and downhill skate boarding."

The bridge has view deck, parking area, rest house, bridge bituminous concrete surface course and bridge electrical provision.

"Because it is considered as one of the engineering feats in the country, the Agas-Agas Bridge has the potential to become one of the tourist spots in Eastern Visayas," the DPWH said.

The OPS said the bridge's "viewing deck in the middle of the bridge will allow motorists to better appreciate the view of the surrounding mountainous areas and forests."

I am for this 90 km bridge.... imagine the tourism potential of this thing. it would generate lots of jobs. It will really put cebu on the map. this bridge can make cebu one of the major cities in the world


it will make trade between the 2 provinces easier. Goods will also be easier to transport. Cebu will be able to sell electricity to bohol and bohol can sell water to cebu.

Bohol can be a suburb of metro cebu. with 90 km bridge, it will reduce trave time from bohol to cebu into 1 hour.

the current ferry takes around 2 hours.
