The City Government has assured the public that it has been overseeing the progress of construction of the Buhangin-Cabantian-Indangan Road after receiving complaints from the residents and motorists affected by the delays.
City Planning and Development Office chief Ivan Cortez revealed that a monitoring group composed of city hall officials and representatives from different construction firms in the road construction are checking out the sites.
“They [monitoring group] reported that the construction is 70 percent complete; we see it is true,” said Cortez.
He added that he gathered all the contractors involved in the project as their office received reports that the construction has been considered as “burdensome” to the residents in the area.
Cortez said the contractors are reminded to finish the project on time.
However, he said there had been a lot of slippage in the project for the past two months due to the severe weather condition.
Cortez said contractors would no longer allow their workers to render services under the rain since the weather makes them prone to flu.
“Aside from being prone to illnesses, the rain delays the drying of the cement,” he explained.
Railways, new flyovers
Cortez revealed that the city government would venture on more road and flyover construction this year.
He said the construction of the first phase of the coastal road from Toril to Agdao and the two flyovers in Matina Crossing and Toril, respectively would be implemented this year.
“The mayor wants that all projects initiated by her administration will be finished before her term of office ends,” Cortez explained.
He mentioned that the first phase of the Coastal Road would run from Toril to Matina while the second phase would be from Matina to Roxas Avenue and from Roxas Avenue to Agdao.
The city government, according to Cortez, mulls of having a railway from Toril to Lasang aside from having Mindanao Railway System (MRS).
“The city mayor is studying four proposals to this effect,” he said.
