Davao underground cable project to be extended to CM Recto Street

THE SECOND phase of the underground cabling project in Davao City will start next month along Claro M. Recto Street. The city government said it is looking at 2020 to complete the program within the downtown area. The first phase, covering the area around the city hall complex, was completed last year. The Underground Distribution System project, spearheaded by Aboitiz Power Corp. subsidiary Davao Light and Power Co., is contained in an ordinance passed in 2014. The city government said digging and construction work for the program will be undertaken betweem 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. to minimize traffic disruption. — Carmelito Q. Francisco
