BARUGO, Leyte – A
total of P39.2 million has been allocated for the construction of
Minuhang (Baluarte)-Balud and Balud-Duka road in Barugo, Leyte, the
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte Second district
engineering office reported.
With the 154.8 meters
bridge with a width of 7.32 meters, residents of Minuhang, Balud,
and Duka could easily transport their agricultural and marine
products.
According to District
Engineer Gerald Pacanan, the construction of this project aims to
support the Barugo Eco Zone and improve trade, investment,
employment, education and overall progress in the said town.
“Once completed, this road
network would provide access to all kinds of vehicles, thus,
transportation of commodities will be easier and cheaper. Moreover,
this would also grant safer and shorter travels for students in
going to and from their schools,” he added.
This road network is
located along the Bagahupi-Babatngon-Sta. Cruz-Barugo-Carigara
national highway.
Moreover, the project will
also serve as an alternate route in the event that Palo-Carigara-Ormoc
road is not passable.
The access road is
targeted to be completed before the year ends.
