CALBAYOG CITY – The
Department of Public Works and Highways Samar First District
Engineering Office (SFDEO) completes the preventive maintenance on a
major road section along Daang Maharlika.
The project covers 3.542
kilometers of asphalt overlay starting from Brgy. Malopalo to Brgy.
Tinambacan in Calbayog City. It has an allocation of P27 million
sourced out from the 2018 Regular Infrastructure Fund and is under
contract with B. Vicencio Construction.
SFDEO’s maintenance
personnel installed thermoplastic pavement markings along the
newly-preserved road to provide accurate road markings that will
reduce vehicular accidents.
This particular road
section connects Manguino-o Port to the city proper and experiences
a high volume of traffic. Most of the vehicles plying along the
highway are trailers and trucks carrying cargo from Cebu.
Both public and private
vehicles also use this road to transport people from north to south
of the country.
With the completion of
this project, the aforementioned road users are provided with a
faster, safer and more convenient travel experience that will
contribute to the continued economic boom of the city.
