Construction of the CDO New Eastern Bypass Road continues with the recent groundbreaking ceremony for the continuation of the road project with funding allocation of P120 million for 2024 for additional 710 meters in length, with paved shoulders and lined canals, reinforced concrete box culvert, and slope protection in the Mandumol-Nazareth to Camaman-an Section.
Cong. Rufus Rodriguez, together with officials of the Department of Public Works and Highways Region 10 (DPWH-10), and local barangay officials of Camaman-an led the groundbreaking ceremony.
This 4.25-kilometer, 2-lane alternate road starts at South Diversion Road (near Alegria Hills) and winds through the upper slopes of Mandumol in Macasandig, Nazareth, and Camaman-an, connecting to JR Borja Extension and extending all the way to Lapasan. This shall serve as an alternate route to decongest the main highways going in and out of the city which will significantly reduce travel time for passengers. See road alignment below. There could still be some minor realignment of the route on the ground resulting from right-of-way negotiations.
Since 2018, the road project has been allocated a total of P655 million.
