<br/><br/> Roads are a catalyst for economic growth and vital to access the development of  an area. Bula, is one of the active municipalities in Camarines Sur, with a total land of  16,772 hectares, and with a total of 33 barangays. The growing populations, expectation  for continuous economic growth, and increasing concern of the residents for accessibility  have contributed to the demand for alternative economic routes that are beneficial for  them. The Researchers conducted field surveying in the municipality, thus casual  interviews to gather different topographical concerns – location of nearby waterways,  lakes, low-lying grounds, and relevant information about the situation – floods and land  authority. In addition, the Researchers used possession data from CENRO, thus the  generated data from actual surveys using RTK to create a design of an alternative route  from Fabrica – Balaogan. The Researchers built a 4.14 km route design, elevated around  2m– 4m, with 221 stations by 20m, 5 culverts, and possible locations for 3 bridges. The  design route conforms to DPWH standards for secondary roads and generated a total  volume for a cut of 6.18 m3 and a total volume for a fill of 197,940.27 m3. The created  possible design route would connect two distant barangays in a shorter distance, and  capacious enough for more accessibility. Moreover, it is designed with precision on its  elevation to conform to the intense flooding in the area.
