Some 30 percent or around four kilometers of the 11.6-kilometer Samar Pacific Coastal Road, which links the so-called “Pacific towns” in Eastern Visayas, has already been paved, bringing the project five months away from target completion.

Despite various typhoons hitting the region in 2019, Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said the road project, that was begun in May 2018 and is expected to be completed by June 2020, is 30 percent completed as of the end of December 2019.

DPWH Undersecretary Emil Sadain added, “We are also continuously working on piers 1, 2, and 4 of its 161-meter Simora Bridge component. The road project is being constructed under a P1.17-billion fund through a loan agreement with the Korean Economic Development Cooperation Fund. The big-ticket project includes the construction of three bridges: Simora, Jangtud 1, and Jangtud 2 Bridges.
