P30-million bridge in Cabiao completed

CABIAO, Nueva Ecija- After a long wait, the thousands of farming families in this southwest Nueva Ecija municipality will enjoy easy access to the business community after the P30-million concrete bridge has been completed.

Rep. Rodolfo Antonino and Mayor Gloria Crespo-Congco inaugurated the 150-meter bridge in Barangay San Carlos recently.

Congco said that besides direct economic benefits, residents would also benefit from faster delivery of relief goods during calamities.

In the past, she pointed out, rural villages were accessible during calamities only through boats and aircraft. She said the bridge will bring development, citing rising land prices in the area.

The town market, she said, will have greater commerce with easier transport for goods and other commodities.

Congco said the bridge is a dream come true for every child in the community.

“It has been [a long wait through] three presidents, several congressmen and mayors,” she said. Armand Galang
