Kabankalan inaugurates new bridge
The inauguration of the 40 linear meter modular steel bridge in Sitio Sta. Isabel, Brgy. Camansi and groundbreaking and lowering of the time capsule ceremony in Brgy. Tampalon-Sta. Isabel highway was held on July 7 with Gov. Isidro Zayco as guest.
The special guest and speaker on the bridge inauguration with the presence of city officials led by Mayor Pedro Zayco, Jr. and Vice Mayor Delia Anacan, was Ma. Joy Maredeth Madayag, director, DILG, Negros Occidental.
The bridge was a joint project of the provincial government, DILG and Kabankalan City under the Tulay ng Pangulo program.
The bridge will be a big benefit to the motorists especially to the residents of Brgys. Tampalon and Brgy. Camansi. The residents will now find it easy to go to each other barangay even in bad weather, said Mayor Zayco.
Meanwhile, the Brgy. Tampalon-Sta. Isabel highway is a part of the P308 million road concreting which traverses Brgys. Linao, Tabugon, Tagoc, Inapoy, Pinaguinpinan, Bantayan and Locotan.
Mayor Zayco said that these projects will be his remembrance to the city after his term as mayor ends on 2010. (Eddie M. Yap)
