March 28, 2023 Dear Angelo Peredo, This is refers to your request under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch, for Standard Footbridges Guidelines in the Philippines, Specifically, footbridges spanning 6-lane. For Standard Guidelines for footbridge, you may refer to the AASHTO’s LRFD Guide Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges for the design of the overpass/footbridge. You may also refer to the DPWH Department Order No. 53 series of 2016 (https://www.dpwh.gov.ph/dpwh/references/issuances/department_order) for the minimum vertical clearance above the roadway for footbridge structures along National highways, which is readily available on the DPWH website under Issuances. It is also suggested that coordination/inquiry be made on the concerned local government who has the jurisdiction on the location of the pedestrian bridge. For copy of geotechnical report, kindly provide us a copy of a formal letter addressed to Mr. Andro V. Santiago, DPWH-FOI Officer, ([email protected] cc: [email protected]) with your company/school logo as its letterhead, duly signed by you and your supervisor/professor, and a copy of your company/school identification card. We will proceed once above-mentioned requirements are provided. During the period of us awaiting your reply, your request will be put on hold. If we do not receive a reply on or before Jun 19, 2023 11:44:26 PM, your request will be closed. We hope to hear from you at the soonest possible time. Thank you. Respectfully, Andro Santiago FOI Officer
