The city government, under the leadership of Mayor John Dalipe, is expediting the implementation of multiple road opening projects in close coordination with the congressional office of Majority Leader and District 2 Representative Mannix Dalipe, along with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
On Thursday, March 6, the infrastructure committee convened at City Hall to assess the progress of at least 12 priority road-opening initiatives. These projects aim to enhance accessibility, improve traffic flow, and support economic growth in key areas.
Among the major projects being prioritized are:
- Mampang-Rio Hondo Coastal Road (Package 3 & 4)
- RCDAO Road to Tumaga-Putik Road to Bypass Road
- Estrada Street (Tetuan) to Enriquez Drive
- Sta. Catalina Road
- Gov. Camins (Water District Pumping Station) to Dionio Road
- Veterans Avenue Extension to Cabato Road (Coca-Cola area)
- Tolosa to Pasonanca Road
Additionally, flood control projects are being undertaken to mitigate risks in flood-prone areas. These include:
- Jumbo Bridge in Tetuan (ICES) to Barigon in Tugbungan
- San Bernardino Bridge in Guiwan to Jumbo Bridge in Tetuan
Further expanding the city’s infrastructure, four congressional projects under the Sustainable Infrastructure Projects Alleviating Gaps (SIPAG) program are also in progress:
- Bunguiao-Quiniput Road
- Mangusu-Muti Road
- Muti-Buenavista Road
- Bunguiao-Tolosa-Lapakan Road
The meeting was attended by key city officials, including Assistant City Administrator for Operations Dolph Saavedra, Assistant City Planning and Development Coordinator Jessie Christopher Lapinid, and Champ Dalipe, who represented the 2nd District Congressional Office. Representatives from DPWH, the City Engineer’s Office, and the Housing and Land Use Management Division also participated in the discussions.
The city government remains committed to accelerating infrastructure development to enhance mobility, ease congestion, and ensure sustainable urban expansion.
