THE 450-METER new Pigalo Bridge in Angadanan, Isabela is now complete, the Department of Public Works and Highways-Region 2 office announced on Tuesday. The project, with a total cost of P458 million, includes a 500-meter road network for the bridge approaches with drainage structures and embankment protections. Cagayan Valley Regional Director Melanio C. Briosos, in a statement, said travel time between the barangays on either side of Angadanan and San Guilllermo and other municipalities along Cagayan River will be shorter by 30 minutes. The new structure replaces the old dilapidated overflow bridge, which was damaged during typhoons Pedring (international name: Nesat) and Quiel (Nalgae), which both struck in 2011.
