This project report provides an update on the Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Cagayan Boundary Road project in Apayao Province. The 95.7 km road connects the municipalities of Kabugao, Pudtol and Luna before turning east to Abulog, Cagayan. Construction of bridges across the Maton and Nagan Rivers has been completed. The target is to construct 2.873 km of road by October 2012. Current implementation is on target with 5% of work completed in the first quarter.

Description:
The road is a major component of the Cordillera Roads Improvement Project (CRIP)
as the northern tip of the regional backbone. It traverses the municipalities of
Kabugao, Pudtol and Luna in Apayao and turns east to Abulog in Cagayan.
The Kabugao-Pudtol-Luna-Abulug Road (95.7 km) directly links the capital town
Kabugao to lower Apayao. The road starts at junction Lenneng along the Kabugao-
Conner-Abbut Road and going north-east traverses municipalities of Kabugao, Pudtol
and Luna and ends at Junction Luna in Abulug, Cagayan along the Pan-Philippine
Highway. The Pan-Philippine Highway connects Laoag, Ilocos Norte and
Tuguegarao, Cagayan.
The bridge construction across Maton and Nagan Rivers has been completed. These
rivers are major tributaries of Apayao River.
The gap at the Kabugao side (19.359 km.), traverses a rugged mountainous terrain,
then slowly goes down to the Paco Valley, which was then proposed as government
center. The road will also traverse the Mataguisi Valley in Pudtol. The valleys have
vast potential for agricultural production. While, Luna, is the location of the new
provincial capitol.
The specific project output is road construction of 2.873 kms.
