Arjay L. Balinbin,THE DEPARTMENT of Public Works and Highways said it plans to seek more private sector bids for operations and maintenance contracts, including those financed by official development assistance .
According to the DPWH, the 32.47-kilometer project is composed of two sea-crossing bridges connecting Panay Island, Guimaras Island and Negros Island in the Western Visayas. The department hopes to start the detailed engineering design by the first quarter of 2023. The P175.7-billion project covers the construction of two long-span bridges totaling 32.1 kms. It is expected to cut travel time between the two provinces from five hours to 20 to 30 minutes.
The project connects to an 18-km section, opened to motorists in July last year, which starts at the connection of the SCTEX/TPLEX toll roads in Tarlac City. The CLLEX is a 30-km public infrastructure project that serves as an east-west link for the expressway network of Central Luzon, which is immediately north of the capital.Public Works Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan has said that the Marcos administration will work to attract more investors to its infrastructure program through PPPs.
