Antique Representative AA Legarda says the rechanneling and dredging of the Paliwan River is 100% complete.
Public works crew rushed to reopen the access road across Paliwan River in Antique less than a day after a flash flood on Monday, November 21.
But he urged commuters to take caution, noting that rainfall had washed out the embankment and approach to the crossing. Antique Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer Broderick Train said the Department of Public Works and Highways used culvert pipes with sand and gravel heaped on top to create an access road as a temporary remedy for commuters.Train urged commuters to use the bamboo bridge constructed before the access road, but stressed that only pedestrians or a single motorcycle can use the makeshift bridge.
“They have excavated 51,900 cubic meters and hauled excavated materials at 10,250 cubic meters,” Legarda said. “Embankment of temporary approach stands at 37% in the meantime. Nonetheless, 18 HDPE drainage pipes have been successfully laid out to allow vehicles temporary access to the bridge.”
