Why it matters
The projects are part of the province's disaster recovery efforts, though the rehabilitation costs for the Balamban bridges have not yet been finalized because they remain in the bidding stage. Delays in starting some projects were attributed to technical preparation, reassessment, and redesign based on updated structural requirements.
