Change in Scope, Cost and Financing Arrangements for the Arterial Road Bypass Project Phase II

DPWH proposed the inclusion of the detailed design and construction works for the widening into four lanes of the Angat Bridge and its approach roads, and a smaller bridge, in the scope of the ongoing ARBP Phase II. To enable DPWH to fast-track the implementation of the additional scope of works by utilizing available financing under the current PHP-250, DPWH proposed to finance the implementation of the scope of works (i.e., widening as approved under ARBP Phase III) using the projected JpY574.07 million savings from the ARBP Phase II loan, and a supplemental loan to be requested from JICA amounting to JpY2,324 million.
