Iloilo-Guimaras-Negros study of bridges starting




BY GILBERT BAYORAN
Tuesay, July 25, 2017

The feasibility study to connect Iloilo, Guimaras and Negros through bridges is now starting, Rep. Alfredo Benitez(Neg. Occ., 3 rd District) said yesterday.

Benitez said the feasibility study also includes the coastal road in the 3rd district of Negros Occidental. But the study will include first the bridge connecting Iloilo to Guimaras, he said.

China, the best bridge builder in the world,will fund the project, Benitez added.

The proposal to connect Iloilo to Negros started during the administration of then President Corazon Aquino. It also cropped up during the administrations of Presidents Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo and Benigno Aquino III.

The proposed bridge connecting Iloilo to Guimaras is about 2.6 kilometers long.

He was told by Chinese Ambassador Zhao Jianhua in a dialog Sunday night that the 2 to 3 kilometer distance is “peanuts”, as the bridge connecting Macau and Hongkong is longer, Benitez said.

It is a pie in the sky, Benitez quoted the Chinese ambassador as saying.

Then, the pie will come down, Benitez quipped.* GPB
