CALBAYOG CITY –
Samar First District Engineering Office is undertaking the
construction of a by-pass and diversion road from Barangay Capoocan
to Barangay Dagum (diversion road) which is a multi-year project
that will start in 2020 and is targeted to be completed by 2023.
Phase I of said project
that started in 2020 is an opening of gravel road with a length of
1,227.82 meters and a width of 30 meters. As of July 2021 its actual
accomplishment is at 80.34% and is currently suspended due to
Road-Right-of-Way (RROW) problems that needs to be settled.
While the problem for
Phase I is being resolved, Phase II is already on-going and is at
70.67% actual accomplishment. Scope of work for this phase will
include concreting of road that will span 1,227.82 meters (two
lanes). An off-carriageway improvement (bicycle lane) is also part
of the project’s works with a width of two (2) meters and a length
of 750 linear meters.
The two projects have a
total contract amount of P105.65 million under the General
Appropriations Act of FY 2020 and 2021.
