LA TRINIDAD, Benguet, Wednesday March 23 - Benguet Congressman Ronald Cosalan said that various infrastructure projects of the capital town will be done this year.


Cosalan said that after the completion of the concreting of the Kilometer 3 to Kilometer 6 section of the Halsema Road, concreting of the Pico – Puguis Road will also start following consultations with the local and barangay officials. This has a funding of P20 million.



Also in the pipeline is the replacement of two bridges, the Tabangawan Bridge and Balili Bridge.
Cosalan also bared that people are clamoring for the improvement of Buyagan Road. For the meantime, asphalting of the provincial road will be done, he said.



He also will fund the road in Beckel particularly in Lamut with an amount of P20 million. He is proposing to connect the Beckel to Shilan Road, which is a national road by next year.


Cosalan also proposed a vehicular overpass from Petron in Cruz to Jollibee in Km 5 but this will have to be in consultation with local officials and studied very well, he added. The proposal for a vehicular overpass started back in 1998.


Cosalan, who is also the chairman of the House Committee of Public Works, said he is working closely with the municipal as well as the provincial government to ensure that the basic services and development will be delivered to the people of La Trinidad and Benguet, as a whole.*(PIA CAR)
