\u201cSoon. We are still finalizing the plan for rebuilding. That was a box-culvert. Unfortunately, that\u2019s why we are becoming strict with overloading because trucks are really heavy. So now, we\u2019re creating a plan to rebuild it to a higher standard,\u201d DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said in an interview Monday.

MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is set to begin soon the repair of the damaged road at the corner of Roxas Boulevard and Remedios Street in Manila.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon. We are still finalizing the plan for rebuilding. That was a box-culvert. Unfortunately, that\u2019s why we are becoming strict with overloading because trucks are really heavy. So now, we\u2019re creating a plan to rebuild it to a higher standard,\u201d DPWH Secretary Mark Villar said in an interview Monday.<\/p>\n

Villar noted that they will enforce the rules strictly so as not to repeat such incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell,\u00a0bawal talaga dumaan. Hindi talaga dapat dumaan dun e dahil mabigat \u2018yung<\/em>\u00a0truck. So we have to enforce these rules\u00a0para hindi mangyari yan<\/em>\u00a0(they are really not allowed to enter. Trucks are not allowed to enter because they are heavy. So we have to enforce these rules,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Villar ordered the conduct of a formal investigation on the collapse of the box culvert after a 14-wheeler truck loaded with tons of sand fell into a five-foot deep hole at the said portion of Roxas Boulevard in Manila.<\/p>\n

The truck weighed about 42 tons that entered the secondary road, which could only accommodate 20 tons.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, DPWH National Capital Region Director Ador Canlas said he expects to finish the repair of the damaged box-culvert in over a month.<\/p>\n

He noted that they are looking to have the design within a week or two.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably 1-2 weeks design (plans and the design) and then we will ask the central office to immediately release the funds so we could do that much earlier\u2026more than a month,\u201d the DPWH official said in a separate interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
