KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How big is the new bridge?

    The new bridge is 90-lineal meter concrete bridge that has a 405-lineal-meter flood control structure and a 346.5-lineal-meter approach road.
  • How much funding was used to create the new bridge?

    The new bridge had a budget of P106.15 million.
  • DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller Tolentino said that the new bridge used to have an old, wooden, and worn-out Real Bridge that can only cater to light vehicles like motorcycles.

    Aimed at improving mobility in the province, the aforementioned project is a 90-lineal meter concrete bridge that has a 405-lineal-meter flood control structure and a 346.5-lineal-meter approach road.

    The P106.15-million project was implemented by the DPWH Aurora District Engineering Office (DEO).

    Tolentino also said that back then, other vehicles had to travel an additional 15-20 minutes to the barangays of Nonong and L. Pimentel just to cross the river especially when the water rises during heavy rains and typhoons.

    With the completed project, residents of Barangays Dibut and Dibalo now have a more reliable bridge infrastructure with an increased carrying capacity to access hubs in the municipality such as the San Luis Town Center located in Barangay Poblacion.
