As implemented by DPWH Unified Project Management Office, the SPCR Project is funded by the government of Korea (GoK) under Korea Export-Import Bank Economic Development Cooperation Fund (KEDCF) Loan Agreement Under PHL-14 and the Government of the Philippines (GoP).
At a funding of Php1.03B, its road length runs from the Simora Junction extending to the remote areas in the Municipality of Laoang up to Barangay Mabaras in the Municipality of Palapag.
The project covers the Construction of the 11.607 two-lane Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP Road); Simora Bridge at a length of 161.00 linear meters; 31-linear-meter Jangtud Bridge 1; and the 69-linear-meterJangtud Bridge 2.
