CEBU, Philippines Sixth district Rep. Luigi Quisumbing during a press conference yesterday said Bohol Rep. Erico Aumentado and Seventh District Rep. Arturo Radaza has asked him to co-author a bill requesting for a project study of a proposed super bridge that will link the two provinces.
The bridge is to be known as the "Bohol-Cebu Multi-Access Friendship Bridge."
Quisumbing said there was a motion at the House of Representatives earlier to file a bill regarding a proposed bridge that would connect Bohol from Getafe and Cebu from Cordova.
It got a favorable support last year from the Regional Development Council-Region VII through the DPWH in Bohol endorsing it to the Economic Development Cooperation Fund for financial support for a feasibility study.
Aumentado, who was then the Bohol governor when this project was conceptualized said the bridge will vastly improve vehicular and passenger traffic between Bohol and Cebu, handle the cable through which Bohol can get more electric power and fiber optics from Cebu while Cebu would get water from Inabanga through pipes.
