P19.81-B bypass project in Davao to begin this year
THE detailed engineering design of the over P19.81 billion Davao City bypass construction project will begin this year, an official said.
Department of Public Works and Highways’ (DPWH) Planning Service Director Constante Llanes Jr., speaking to 200 participants of the Mindanao Economic Zone Summit on Thursday, February 2, at the Grand Regal Hotel, said the project will be divided into two packages.
The allocated budget for the project's first package dubbed as the “South Section (road) and Center Section (tunnel)” is at P14.23-billion.
It will be funded partially by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
The first package includes the 28.8 kilometer (km) road, 2.28km tunnel and the improvement of existing 10.20km two connector roads.
The second package or the “North Section Road,” Llanes said, has a total budget of P5.577 billion. The second package will include another 15.78km road.
“The North Section Road will be fully locally funded,” he said.
He added the project will significantly “reduce travel time from one hour and forty-four minutes via Pan-Philippines Highway and Diversion Road to 49 minutes via Davao Bypass road saving 55 minutes of travel time.”
The bypass road is a five-year project expected to begin in 2018 and be completed in 2022. DPWH earlier said the project is pushed by the government in a bid to improve the transport logistics and mitigate traffic congestion in the city.
With the realization of the project, big volume of the transport vehicles such as trucks, which have no business in the main city, will no longer have to pass by the busy roads. The bypass road will offer an alternative route for better and easier road access.
