The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed the Amulung Bypass Road, which offers travelers an alternative route, minimizing traffic congestion on the national highway, and improves overall commuting experience in Amulung, Cagayan.
In his report to Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, Regional Director Reynaldo C. Alconcel said that the 11.5-kilometer Amulung Bypass road has four (4) lanes with stone masonry and pipe culverts, a 13.40-meter carriageway width, 2.50-meter shoulders on each side, and 300-millimeter-thick concrete, ensuring safety and convenience for travelers.
“The newly constructed bypass road provides a convenient and secure route for drivers and passengers to access the nearby towns of Alcala and Gattaran, as well as other municipalities in the surrounding areas of the first and second legislative districts,” said Director Alconcel.
The new bypass road provides a faster and more reliable transportation network, facilitating a smoother commuting experience for motorists and enhancing the efficiency of goods delivery, particularly benefitting the agricultural sector.
Implemented by the Cagayan 3rd District Engineering Office, the Amulung Bypass Road Project was completed in the amount of P246 million, funded under multi-year allocations in the 2019 to 2022 General Appropriations Act.
