THE DEPARTMENT of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is now working on the P107.7-million bridge that will cross Cagayan River from Barangay Aquib to Dugayong in Piat, Cagayan. “The project, which is being built with 19 spans, 130-lineal meter approach on both ends, is now 16% completed and is aimed to be opened to motorists before the end of 2018,” DPWH Region 2 Director Melanio C. Briosos said in a statement yesterday. Mr. Briosos said the all-weather bridge will serve as a link of Piat town proper to parts of the towns of Rizal, Sto. Niño and Tuao. The structure will provide shorter travel time for pilgrims and tourists visiting the Basilica of Our Lady of Piat as well as easier transport of farm products in the surrounding areas.
