The restructured Samal Island-Davao City Connector (SIDC) project is awaiting the approval of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. after a Cabinet-level government body approved changes to it, Inquirer Business reported.

The SIDC is an ongoing project meant to improve connectivity between Samal Island and Davao City and to expand economic activity, according to the report.

The available report does not detail what the restructuring involves, including any changes to cost, scope or timeline, or say when the President is expected to act on it. DavaoNews will update this story as more information becomes available.

Why it matters for Davao

The connector is meant to improve links between Davao City and Samal Island, so changes to the project could affect commuters, residents and businesses on both sides of the strait.
