NAVAL, Biliran –
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH)- Biliran District

David P. Adongay Jr.,

Restoration works which
involve backfilling were done in coordination with DPWH-BDEO and LM

According to Adongay,
DPWH-Biliran DEO is exerting their efforts and closely monitoring
and coordinating with the contractor under contract with DPWH
Regional Office VIII to restore the said detours for the safe
passage of the motorists and the travelling public.
“These detours are deemed

“Travelling public

longer route to travel to the capital town of Naval and to its
neighboring municipalities,” the District Engineer added.
The District Engineer also

Ang to fast-track the repair of the detours.
