ZAMBOANGA
CITY: The DPWH recently said it will start road works on the highway that links
Zamboanga and Pagadian.
DPWH
said their move will decongest the flow of vehicular traffic coming from and
going to both directions.
The
said road stretch also links this city to the nearby provinces of Zamboanga
Sibugay and Zamboanga del Sur, an official said.
DPWH
District Engineer Cholie Roble said the highway will be widened to six lanes from
its present width of four.
It
was learned that the project will cover a stretch of 300 kilometers from Maria
Clara Lobregat highway in Zamboanga City up to Pagadian City.
The
Zamboanga-Pagadian highway is the main access road from Zamboanga to the neighboring
provinces of Zamboanga del Norte, Misamis and Lanao del Norte.
