Arroyo reopens major bridge in N. Luzon

SISON, Pangasinan – President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on Monday opened the newly restored Bued bridge, which was damaged by Bued River’s heavy current during the onslaught of Typhoon “Pepeng” in October last year.

Arroyo, who was accompanied by Public Works Secretary Victor Domingo, said the bridge’s repair was a priority since it is an important link between Northern Luzon and Metro Manila.

Arroyo said the bridge is vital to transport of goods and passengers to and from Northern Luzon.

When the bridge was damaged in October, vehicles going to La Union, the Ilocos provinces and the Cordillera had to take an alternative route passing through San Fabian, Pangasinan, adding more than an hour to the regular travel time to the north.

After the typhoon, a 145.854-meter single lane bridge was installed by the Department of Public Works and Highways on top of the Bued bridge to aid the continuous flow of traffic there.

Arroyo credited the DPWH for finishing the rehabilitation of the bridge within five months. The P120-million repair, which began on Jan. 4 and completed on June 13, was undertaken under the President’s Bridge Program.

Emil Sadain, DPWH assistant secretary for special bridges operations, said sections not damaged by floods were strengthened so the bridge could withstand the strong current in the Bued River during the typhoon season.

After opening the bridge, Ms Arroyo proceeded to Ilocos Sur to attend a gathering of local officials and the birthday celebration of Governor-elect Luis “Chavit” Singson.

PGMA to open P147-M Iloilo bridge on Monday

CABATUAN, Iloilo, June 27 (PNA) -- President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo will inaugurate the newly rehabilitated Tigum Bridge here when she visits the province Monday morning.

The President will lead the marker unveiling and ceremonial drive-through formally opening the bridge to vehicular traffic after a project briefing by Department of Public Works and Highways Secretary Victor Domingo.

The Tigum Bridge, which serves as a vital link connecting the central towns of Iloilo to the city proper and which also serves an alternate route to the provinces of Capiz and Aklan, was destroyed when typhoon Frank pummeled the Visayas region in 2008.

Rebuilt and rehabilitated at a cost of P147.65 million, the new Tigum Bridge now consists of six spans of 170-linear meters long pre-stressed concrete girders on bored pile foundation with new approaches.

Joining the President for the project inaugural will be Iloilo Governor Niel Tupas Sr., Iloilo 3rd Dist. Rep. Arthur Defensor, 1st Dist. Rep. Janette Garin, 2nd Dist. Rep. Judy Syjuco, 4th Dist. Rep. Ferj Biron, Cabatuan Mayor Ramon Yee, Tabucan Barangay Chair Nelson Arcos, Banguit Barangay Chair Gary Bibanco, and DPWH 6 Regional Director Rolando Asis.

why did they approve the design in the first place? so its a donation, and why accept a donated bridge connecting a nation's financial district?

About Manuel Quezon bridge in Manila:

My undertanding that a primitive rope suspension bridge existed until a Gustave Eiffel designed suspension bridge opened in 1939 --this bridge was destroyed by the Japanese in 1945 --the current arched span was funded by the US per a contract issued December 1948 to Moore Dry Dock in Oakland. The bridge design and detailing commenced in January 1949, fabrication was rapid and it was shipped in large segments in August 1949. Safe and efficient erection occurred in September 1949 and at the opening celebration, the bridge erector Mr. L Vidad complimented the engineers and fabricators in Oakland. Moore Drydock accomplished much large bridge scope, including the base sections for the Bay Bridge and also the truss spans for the Dumbarton Bridge.

FOR OUR SPECIAL INFRA PROJECT, WE ARE PROPOSING THE CONSTRUCTION OF A MODERN STEEL BRIDGE IN CASTILLA (WHERE THE CASTILLA SEAPORT IS LOCATED) TO MAGALLANES. IT AIMS TO PROVIDE LINK AND ACCESS TO THE SCENIC AND COASTAL VIEW OF THE SORSOGON WEST COAST…IT WOULD SHORTEN THE TRAVEL TIME TO BULAN BY 30 MINUTES AND IT WILL SERVE AN ALTERNATIVE ROUTE FOR THE HEAVY TRUCKS AND PUV PLYING DIRECTLY TO BULAN OR MATNOG…
