CALBAYOG CITY –
From a two-lane Cagnipa Bridge, it was widened to a four-lane bridge
by the Department of Public Works and Highways Samar First District
Engineering Office with an appropriation of P50 million.
The bridge was widened to
a total width of 7.32 meters carriageway (left and right) and 2.22
meters sidewalk. Now, it spans to 14.64 meters total width of
carriageway and a total length of 51 meters.
This will provide safe and
convenient travel going through this major thoroughfare and faster
delivery of goods to and from the city proper.
The widening of bridges
complements the road widening projects being done within the
district.
