BARMM awaits completion of P79-million road projects in 2021

The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) said it expects several road projects worth around P79 million in Binidayan, Lanao del Sur to be completed within the year.

“In Shaa Allah matatapos natin, dahil nakapaloob ito sa aming kontrata between MPW and the contractors, and with the contract monitoring and coordination, we are confident to finish within the year,” said chief construction engineer Ahmad Lucman of the Ministry of Public Works - Second District Engineering Office.

Lucman together with project engineer Abdul Khalic Ondi inspected the project and estimated it to be at 60-percent completion.

The project initially encountered problems on the settlement of land ownership, which has been settled, Lucman said.

The infrastructure works include concreting/rehabilitation of 1.3-km Madaya-Magonaya Road (Phase II) costing Php33.2-million, rehabilitation of 1.1-km Lumbac-Magonaya Road amounting to Php19.8-million, rehabilitation of 1-km Maindig-Pagalamatan Road (Phase II) worth Php18-million, and concreting/rehabilitation of 0.4-km road from National Highways to Unayan District Hospital worth Php7.8-million.—Jiselle Anne Casucian/LDF, GMA News
