RDC 6 infrastructure body backs 3 Iloilo City projects
The Regional Development Council 6 Committee on Infrastructure has called on the Department of Public Works to prepare proposals/feasibility study for the proposed three major projects in Iloilo City.
These include the suspension bridge connecting Zamora-Muelle Loney Street in Iloilo City Proper to Loboc in Lapuz, Technical assistance for a Drainage System Master Plan for Iloilo City, and an Integrated Transport Master Plan for Iloilo City.
The committee made the call during its regular meeting presided by its newly elected chairperson Iloilo City Mayor Jed Patrick Mabilog.
In a press release, NEDA-6 said the committee also passed a resolution re-endorsing to the RDC-6 the construction of the Iloilo City Circumferential Road.
This infrastructure, earlier endorsed under the Metro Iloilo Road Network Development Master Plan, is a 14-kilometer road forming an arc from its starting point in Arevalo district, passing through the four barangays of Oton and two barangays of Pavia.
The circumferential road also runs along the south bank of the Jaro floodway, connecting to the Iloilo Coastal Road.
Meanwhile, the committee also endorsed the two proposed flyover projects in Bacolod City, under the French Government Assisted Mega bridges for urban and Rural development Project.*
