Electric, telecommunication transmission lines delay DPWH projects in Pangasinan

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan: A number of projects of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Second Pangasinan Engineering District this year have been suspended and delayed due to the presence of electric, telecommunication and even water transmission lines within existing road right of ways, a DPWH official said Tuesday.

Second Highway District Engineer Yolanda Tangco said that at least three bridge projects of the DPWH in the second and fourth legislative districts in the province have already been given revised completion dates due to pending request to affected utility service providers to relocate their lines.
