FLORIDABLANCA -- A P34.35-million Austrian modular steel bridge was inaugurated in Barangay San Pedro here Wednesday.
Through the initiative of Mayor Darwin Manalansan — with the endorsement of 2nd district Representative Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo — the 108-linear meter bailey San Pedro-Gutad bridge construction was recommended for inclusion in the Austrian-Assisted Bridge Construction/Replacement Projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Upon the approval of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, the use of the permanent type steel truss program was adopted, while the cost of sub-structure and approaches was sourced out by the DPWH.
According to DPWH 3 director Ramon Aquino, the Waagner-Biro modular steel bridging materials from Austria was used in the construction of a two-span 60 meter, two-lane bridge for the superstructure of the said project. He said the San Pedro-Gutad bridge also includes construction of substructure using bored pile foundation, concrete deck and approaches and river training works.
The San Pedro-Gutad Bridge located in the area links the area to Bataan, Olongapo and Zambales thru Angeles-Porac-Dinalupihan road. Through the reconstruction of the bridge, the over-all mobility in the area would support the efficient and fast transport of agricultural products of its communities in order to encourage investors to open their business here.
Austria Ambassador Herbert Jager, who led the inaugural visit, said the San Pedro-Gutad Bridge was among the 300 Austrian –Assisted Bridge projects of the Austrian Government to be built in the country.
Jager said the Austrian Government is open in helping the country to move forward in terms of economic development.
Manalansan, for his part, commended the Austrian Government for its assistance in the completion of the bridge.
Among those who attended the event were Austrian Trade Commissioner Walter Hofle; State Secretary Eduard Mainoni; Bingbong Lingat; Vice Mayor Jun Lingad; town councilors and Arnigo Cura, municipal administrator.
