With lack of budget due to the lapsing of appropriations and limited time for project implementation, the DPWH, as the Implementing Agency, deemed it necessary to implement bridge projects that are most critical and necessary as well as those which are immediately implementable, considering proximity to on going DPWH projects and to the depots. As such, as agreed, instead of implementing more than 400 single-lane (SL) bridges to accommodate as many Congressional Districts as possible, the DPWH and DAR agreed to consider Double-lane (DL) bridges, whenever more feasible and necessary. Thus, of the 287 earlier endorsed bridges, only 188 bridges shall be completed. To date, 81 bridge projects are completed and 17 bridges on-going construction works and 90 are under various pre-construction stages (of the 90 pre-con., 15 for implementation this year).
