This project aims to upgrade the existing wooden footbridge within the Elevated House
Community above the stream or we call it in Bisaya is “Latayan” to a cement structure. The
conversion is essential for improving safety, ensuring structural stability, and providing a
sustainable crossing for residents living in the “Latayan” area.
Introduction
The Elevated House Community above the stream relies on a wooden footbridge for
connectivity. However, the current structure poses safety concerns and is susceptible to
environmental factors. The proposed conversion to a cement footbridge is designed to
address these challenges while considering the unique characteristics of the community.
