Motorists urge BCDA: Speed-up SCTEx repair

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — Motorists plying the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) yesterday appealed to the Bases Conversion Development Authority (BCDA) to fast track the installation of a bailey bridge at the damaged portion of the toll road’s Pasig-Potrero Bridge in Porac.

Edwin Lingat, 43, of Quezon City, said in an interview that the damaged portion of the Pasig-Potrero Bridge at SCTEx has greatly affected the travel time of motorists plying the expressway, describing it as “time consuming.”

“Malaking abala sa mga motorista kagaya ko ang re-routing along Sta. Cruz, Porac. Imbes na mapadali ang biyahe namin papuntang Subic ngayon halos isang oras ang nasasayang sa pagre-route namin at traffic pa,” Lingat said.

Other motorists are asking for the time frame of the BCDA on their plan to put up a temporary Bailey bridge along the damaged portion of the SCTEx, which would benefit those plying along the highway, particularly those who are Subic-bound.

Earlier, the BCDA announced its plan of placing a Bailey bridge as a temporary relief to the damaged portion of the Pasig-Potrero Bridge at the SCTEx which collapsed after its embankment eroded at the height of typhoon Maring last August 20.

BCDA president and CEO Arnel Paciano Casanova, in a press statement earlier, said they have discussed with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) about their plan of putting a Bailey Bridge at the collapsed portion of the Pasig-Potrero bridge, assuring the public that it is structurally safe and can withstand even strong lahar currents.

“A Bailey bridge is a type of portable, pre-fabricated, truss bridge. One advantage of it is that it does not require special tools or heavy equipment to construct,” Casanova added.

The affected portion of SCTEX from Clark South going to Porac remains closed for the meantime to motorists, but the Clark-Tarlac section is open to all vehicles.

Motorists coming from Manila or Tarlac going to Subic/Tipo, are advised to exit at the Clark South Interchange then take the Clark Friendship-Manibaug Road going to Porac Interchange to enter SCTEX.

Meanwhile, motorists from Subic/Tipo going to Tarlac or Manila may exit at Porac Interchange then take the Manibaug-Friendship Road going to Clark South Interchange to enter SCTEx.
