The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to complete the multi-million peso Laoag City by-pass road by January 2014.

The four-lane road, which is nearly 40 percent complete, will be an alternate route for motorists coming from the province’s southern section and going to the northern towns without passing the Laoag City proper.

According to Project Engineer Angelito Dian, the project’s first phase—composed mainly of embankment (selected borrow river mix), aggregate sub-base course, slope protection works, reinforced concrete box culverts and pipe culverts—was completed on May 6, 2013.

“The second phase is expected to be completed on January 27, 2014, with the completion of embankment (selected borrow mix) aggregates sub base course, slope protection, reinforced concrete box culverts and pipe culverts,” Dian added.

Once completed it is expected to lessen travel time and provide comfort to motorists and tourists when they visit the province’s northern section.

The project, which began in 2012, was jointly supervised by the DPWH Region 1 and First Ilocos Norte District Engineering Offices.

Dian said the DPWH central office will construct a bridge along the bypass road crossing Padsan River parallel to the downstream of the Gilbert Bridge.
