The Philippine Ports Authority (PPA) has completed a new access road leading to the port of Calapan in Oriental Mindoro.
PPA general manager Atty. Jay Daniel Santiago said that once opened, the access road will have a single entry point and a single exit point to prevent traffic build-up in the area around the port.
Construction of the Calapan Port access road began in the first quarter of 2019 and was completed in February this year.
Calapan port is the main gateway to Oriental Mindoro and handles fastcraft and roll-on/roll-off vessels.
The access road has long been requested by the people of Calapan City to help alleviate traffic congestion to and from the port, said PPA.
