Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said it has spent ₱3.7 billion for various infrastructure projects in Cebu for this year.
The DPWH-Central Visayas said it has already completed 45 infrastructure projects worth ₱ 1.9 billion, has 18 ongoing projects and 13 projects that have not yet been started.
Most of the completed projects were road asphalting and concreting.
Another ₱1.8 billion is being allocated for the construction of at least five more flyovers in Cebu City.
The amount includes the road widening component of each flyover project.
The flyover projects were, however, put on hold after some sectors voiced their opposition on the ground that these were to be constructed without first conducting a traffic master plan in the city.
Projects completed under the Cebu City District Engineering Office are located at the following:
- M. Cuenco Avenue
- Mabini-Lopez Jaena Street
- Carlock Street
- Tupas Street
- 8th Street
- N. Bacalso Avenue (Cebu South),
- Gov. Cuenco Avenue
- C. Padilla Street
- Cebu Circumferential Road (F. Llamas Street).
Those projects completed under Cebu First Engineering District were the two road projects in Toledo-Tabuelan-San Remigio Road, two Cebu North Hagnaya Wharf road projects, three Antonio Y de Pio road projects, Daanbantayan Port, and Olive Bridge construction.
Completed road projects under Cebu 2nd District Engineering District are the two in Cebu South Coastal Road and the two concrete road pavements of Sibonga-Dumanjug Road and two in N. Bacalso Ave. (Cebu South Road).
Those completed under the Cebu 3rd Engineering District are Pinamungahan Cadre Road, Toledo-Pinamungahan-Aloguinsan-Mantalongon Road, Cebu-Toledo Wharf Road, Carcar-Barili Road and Toledo-Tabuelan-San Remegio road.
In addition, the DPWH-Central Visayas has proposed some ₱6.024-billion worth of infrastructure projects for Cebu City and Cebu province in 2013, mostly listed under the names of the different congressmen.
District Engineer Susan Ornopia of the DPWH Cebu 4th Engineering District said Representative Benhur Salimbangon (Cebu, 4th district) has infrastructure projects worth ₱581.3 million for his district.
In the list presented by DPWH-Central Visayas, a total of ₱859.741-million worth of infrastructure projects was attributed to Representative Tomas Osmena (Cebu City, south district).
This includes ₱839.741 million for national roads and bridges, ₱15 million for drainage and ₱5 million for national building.
Projects under Representative Rachel del Mar (Cebu City, north district) include P615 million for national roads and bridges and ₱72 million for flood control/drainage, for a total of ₱700.412 million.
