SoKor mulling 4 DPWH projects
The Department of Public Works and Highways revealed on Friday that four of its proposed infrastructure projects have piqued the interest of the South Korea-based Export-Import Bank of Korea. In a statement, DPWH Senior Undersecretary Emil K. Sadain, also the chief implementer of the country’s “Build Better More” program, said there have been talks for “enhanced cooperation” between the agency and KEXIM under South Korea’s Economic Development Promotion Facility, a loan program intended to fund large infrastructure projects. Four projects primarily in Central Luzon and Central Visayas are targeted for said funding, including a 28.82-kilometer bypass road project traversing five municipalities and flood control works on two rivers across three municipalities in Pampanga, and a detailed engineering design of a 10.6-kilometer bypass road and feasibility study on two bridges across Lapu-Lapu Coastal Road in Cebu. Loan agreements The DPWH has already partnered with KEXIM in loan agreements in the past, including the 32.47-kilometer Panay-Guimaras-Negros Island bridge project, a project under the Duterte administration’s “Build, Build, Build” program with loans worth $56.6 million. Last year, the DPWH said that KEXIM has committed to funding more infrastructure projects under President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. 's ‘Build Better More’ program and has already funded feasibility studies and ongoing infrastructure works in the country. In a related development, some South Korean construction firms have expressed interest to work on the Bataan-Cavite Interlink Bridge project during the Global Project Plaza 2023, as part of the Asian Development Bank meeting in Incheon, South Korea. Sadain said that the detailed engineering design for the project is already 85 percent complete, heading to meet a June deadline. Infrastructure works Last March, DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan revealed the commencement of infrastructure works for the said bridge, which will consist of a two-channel, four-lane bridge linking Naic, Cavite, and Mariveles, Bataan, as well as two cable-stayed structures measuring 400 meters and 900 meters respectively. It is expected to cross Manila Bay, with each channel beside Corregidor Island in Bataan. ADB funded the project with a Php 175 million allocation, with target completion set within the next five years, or up until the end of Marcos’ term.
