Widening works were implemented on Canawan Bridge along Sindangan-Liloy Road in Barangay Canawan in Salug town, Villar said.
The now four-lane bridge is expected to ease congestion and improve the delivery of goods and services for the locals in the area.
The widening of the 40.33-meter bridge was implemented under a P43.21-million budget allocation under the 2019 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
Aside from the widening works, the bridge project also involved the construction of a slope protection to avoid or minimize erosion or soil disturbance.
Twelve solar-powered lamp posts were also installed on the sides of the bridge to improve motorists’ safety at night time.
