This day I took a picture of our bridge still under renovation. It seems no end. Though it is summer here but we cannot evade the earth to send rains. This day, it rains and if this rain continues, I am afraid I have to wake up at 3 dawn to prepare everything including my food so I can escape walking in mud. I commute when it rains.It is better than driving in a very risky road. The construction builders of this are given ultimatum by the president of the Ph. and this road must be done in there years from now, or else, they have to hide in the rainbow. Thank you for reading.

Is the DPWH in charge of the construction?

@cacay1 but the agency should rush finishing that bridge because not only the ordinary people suffer the consequences, but even the students. they (students) might get lazy going to school because of the long distance walk they have to endure.

I hope this bridge will be finished soon. I think they also think about building another bridge somewhere as the backup. There is a river in my city and it separates our city into two parts. Long time ago we just had one bridge and the traffic was terrible. Now we have more bridges and it doesn't matter where you live and work.

I hope you don't have to wade through the mud. That seems an awfully long time to take to finish the job.

@jaboUK, I did walk in mud this morning with my knee level boots hehehe, then this afternoon weather shifted to a hot afternoon sun shines so brightly. I may not walk in mud when I go home home. I have to leave the faculty office after sending you this reply to avoid traffic problem in road. Thanks.

@garymarsh6, No vehicles to pass very muddy and slippery , one should reach the opposite to catch up the ride there. In between roads are planted with soil, not yet concretized , so muddy and slippery.
