Bao Bridge Anilao Bridge
Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office completes the retrofitting/strengthening of Bao Bridge and Anilao Bridge, both located along the Palo–Carigara–Ormoc Road.
Each project involved the application of epoxy injection to seal cracks and restore the concrete’s integrity, installation of carbon fiber sheets and plates to improve load capacity, and the application of concrete protective coating to shield it from further environmental damage.
“We want to ensure the continued safe and efficient transport of our road users especially along the busy national highway road network,” said OIC – District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco. “These improvements will extend the service life of the bridges and make them more resilient against wear and stress.”
The Anilao Bridge project has a total cost of P28,811,973.11, while the Bao Bridge project amounts to P14,454,814.82, both funded under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2025. These newly-strengthened bridges will serve the community for years to come, reaffirming the Leyte 4th DEO’s goal of keeping roads and bridges durable and reliable for the travelling public. (PR)
