DULAG, Leyte – A
total of P48.5 million has been poured out by the Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte Second District Engineering
Office for the construction of seawall along coastal villages in
Dulag, Leyte.
The project will protect
and reduce coastal hazards to the residents of Brgy. San Jose and
Brgy. San Rafael critical to storm surge.
District Engineer Gerald
Pacanan said that the embankment project involves stone masonry with
a total length of 482.5 meters and height of 2.5 meters.
The seawall will serve as
protection from storm surge during occurrence of typhoon and
alleviate the problems of erosion along these coastlines.
For 2018, the district has
carried out a total of eight flood mitigation projects amounting to
P271.68 million, of which four are completed and the rest are still
ongoing.
