The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) officially opened a Bailey bridge in Tarlac City on Wednesday, three weeks after the Agana Bridge collapsed due to heavy traffic. The new bridge, constructed as an emergency measure, provides a temporary solution for local commuters and emergency services. The Agana Bridge, which had been a key route, collapsed under the weight of overloaded vehicles, prompting immediate action from authorities. The Bailey bridge, known for its strength and rapid deployment, was built in just a few days to ensure continued access to the area. Officials emphasized the importance of the new structure in restoring normalcy and supporting recovery efforts. The DPWH has also announced plans to assess the long-term repair of the original bridge.
