The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported that the bridge connecting the Maasim and Alimodian towns in Iloilo is now substantially completed.

According to the report of Region 6 Director Wenceslao Leaño Jr., the 191.8-linear meter Aganan Bridge Project, which is being implemented along Mandurriao-San Miguel-Alimodian-Maasin-Cabatuan Road in Alimodian, Iloilo, is almost done with some remaining works in slope protection and bridge approaches.

“If weather permits, the public will be able to utilize this bridge by August 2018. This will provide a vital link to the towns of Maasin and Alimodian, providing access to Iloilo City and other towns in central Iloilo,” Leaño said.

Once completed, Aganan Bridge will benefit residents who, during rainy season, have to wait for water to subside in order to cross the river just to deliver their goods and products to the market.

It will likewise facilitate access to various tourist destinations that lie within Alimodian and its neighboring towns.

Aganan Bridge will have two lanes, six spans with sidewalks, railings and slope protection.

It conforms with the latest road capacity required in the DPWH design guidelines, criteria and standards.
