 Agas-Agas
The Agas-Agas bridge is being built near Sogod in southern Leyte.
The national highway was clinging precariously to unstable mountain
sides and was getting washed out from time to time by the heavy rains.
This bridge should eliminate the landslide dangers and keep the highway open and safe by bypassing the problem areas.
The Japanese company Sumitomo Construction LTD is the main player in putting this project together.

Agas-Agas Bridge - Dec 8, 2008
The previous route was carved into the sides of some very steep mountains that often collapsed during the heavy rains in southern Leyte.
These landslides would shut down the entire National Highway system so this solution should make the road more stable and safe. When complete, it should stretch across a gap around 350 meters in length.
