Mamintal “Bombit” Alonto Adiong, Jr. led the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the
fully operational Ramain Bridge on Monday, February 15, 2016 at the
Municipality of Bubong, Lanao del Sur.
The bridge has a total length of 61.36
meters and a width of 7.32 meters is located along the Lake Lanao Circumferential Road was
constructed in the year 1969 was rehabilitated and upgraded in 2015 per request
of Governor Adiong to the Department of Public Works and Highways of the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao.
According to Engr. Ote Macabando
who supervised the project in behalf of the provincial government of Lanao del
Sur, the DPWH-ARMM released the amount of Php 12.3 Million for the Ramain
Bridge from their 2014 infrastructure funds.
He added that a Memorandum of
Agreement was entered into by both parties in 2014.
Governor Adiong also said it would
now be easier for the residents of the first district of Lanao del Sur to go to
Marawi City and the other parts of the province with the rehabilitation of the
bridge.
Before the residents of the towns
located in the first district had to take a farther detour with limited space
just to get to Marawi City when the slabs and riprap of the bridge became
dilapidated due to time this caused inconvenience to motorists that included
traffic and a longer route to their destination.
Regional Governor Hataman said it
is the commitment of President Benigno Simeon C. Aquino, III that ARMM becomes
a progressive region with developed provinces and cities.
