CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela (May 15)—The Department of Public Works and Highways-1st District Engineering Office (DPWH-1DEO) Cabagan bypass road project is nearly completed.
The P224 million bypass road project is already 80 percent completed as of March 2021, according to the DPWH.
“This project also involves soft scaping of islands on junctions, installation of roadway lightings, safety/traffic signages and pavement markings. Bike lane and sidewalk are also incorporated in the widened section for additional amenities for the public,” DPWH – 1DEO head Engr. Deoferio Vehemente Jr said.
He said the Cabagan bypass road is funded under the Regular Infrastructure Program for 2018-2020 with three phases that traverse Barangay Ngarag, Poblacion and Ugad and will reduce travel time by 10-15 minutes.
