New Road Built Entirely Around Electric Poles

Just outside of Pototan, Iloilo there is a lot of ongoing road construction. Perhaps it is due to flooding but for some reason the new road being built is much higher than the old one.



For the moment businesses and houses on the side of the road which has been built have no access exiting or entering their properties. 

Not far from this construction site is a section of road that has been recently widened. A second lane has been added thus giving more room for traffic. The thing is though this road was built entirely around already existing electric poles!

Here are a few frames from a video I took of this amazing sight.





Who is the genius engineer which planned and designed this road? What a waste of resources, work, man hours, money!  This section of newly widened road is absolutely useless. No vehicles can use it lest they crash into a electric pole. I am completely baffled as to the stupidity that went into designing, planning, and constructing this road right around these electrical poles. Did they not take the poles into account? The DPWH should be held accountable for this major mess up.

The video speaks for itself and is below. Enjoy!
