TACLOBAN CITY—Officials on Thursday broke ground for a road project that they said would make travel from Northern to Eastern Samar a breeze.

The 11.6-kilometer, P1-billion Samar Pacific Coastal Road (SPCR) project would connect five towns in Northern Samar to two towns in Eastern Samar, forming a circumferential connection between the two provinces.

The project’s completion was listed as March 2020.
