Iriga City FMR endorsed for DA assistance

   Iriga City’s 5.128-km circumferential road project that is proposed by the city government to pass through five barangays  and serve as a diversion route for vehicles bound for Manila and vice-versa is being endorsed by the RDC5 for funding through the Department of Agriculture’s Farm-to-Market Road Program.

   NEDA5 ARD Luis Banua said that the project cost is estimated at P184.9 M for a concrete road but the proponent was amenable to revise the project cost to conform to the standard cost for a local or barangay road.

   The Infrastructure Development Committee recommended the DA’s Farm-to-Market Road Program as funding source following its review of the proposal.
