The Quirino Bridge retrofitting project has been delayed since 2018, causing public inconvenience and losses in Cotabato City.
GENERAL SANTOS, Philippines – The slow action by the Department of Public Works and Highways on a bridge repair project that should have started five years ago has sparked public ire in Cotabato City.
“When I went to check, there was no one from DPWH on that bridge – only some vendors and piles of trash and litter,” he complained.Matabalao told reporters that there was a delay in the rehabilitation of the bridge because construction materials arrived late. Cotabato Councilor Florante Formento said the Quirino Bridge, built in the 1950s by the American and Philippine public works department, is one of the oldest functioning road links in the country.
They removed electric wires and poles, and implemented a traffic rerouting to a smaller alternate bridge. Once again, no rehabilitation work was carried out.
