Boracay Island, Aklan - The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) calls on different sectors here to endorse the planned Panay Circumferential Road Project of the highway department in Western Visayas.
DPWH Aklan District Engineer Roberto Cabigas said that the department is now conducting a feasibility study on the said purpose.
When materialized, the funding will come from the DPWH and from the Congressional District Offices of the different provinces in Panay that will be affected by the Panay circumferential road project.
“The purpose of the project is to speed up transportation and economic services in Panay Island, especially in the area of tourism and agriculture,” Cabigas said.For the province of Aklan, the planned circumferential road includes the development of an alternate route to Boracay.
A tourist bus will turn to Tigayon, Kalibo through the Barangay Mina, Lezo and go to the Aklan Sports Complex in Barangay Calangcang, Makato, Aklan and proceed to Boracay,” Cabigas said. The Panay Circumferential Road in Aklan is expected to reduce travel time by 40 minutes. Travel time from Iloilo to Boracay Island now takes two hours.(PNA)/TE
