Exploring the province’s Tondaligan Beach will soon include the option of a long, scenic, and refreshing bike ride once a 1.2-kilometer bike lane along its shores gets finished.
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Secretary Mark Villar on Wednesday, February 10, teased the public of with a pre-completion look of the bike lane by the beach.
Villar shared on his official Facebook account a picturesque drone shot of the bike lane dubbed as “the longest bike route in Pangasinan.”
The bike lane sits just meters away from the beach, allowing visitors to carry out a top-notch cardio workout while breathing in the clean breeze.
Villar dropped by the 1.2 kilometer-baywalk area which is a project of congressman Christopher De Venecia.
“I felt like I’m in another country,” said Villar during his visit.
The Baywalk has enough spaces for bike lanes, park benches, plants and ramps that provide enough access to Persons with Disabilities (PWD).
The first phase of the project is meant for pedestrians and cyclists while the next phase will be for other planned attractions. Villar promised to provide needed support for the completion of the project.
De Venecia meanwhile considers the Tondaligan Baywalk, which is also backed by the Department of Tourism, as a crown jewel not only of his district but of the entire province of Pangasinan.
