CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga (PIA) — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) concreted a 0.705-lane kilometer road at barangay Sulucan in Angat, Bulacan.
It was implemented by DPWH Bulacan 2nd District Engineering Office.
District Engineer George Santos said one of the project’s primary advantages is its positive impact on transportation and accessibility.
“It now benefits local farmers that enables more efficient product transportation and offers better access to health services, essential for the community’s well-being,” he added.
Santos emphasized DPWH’s commitment to contribute to the local government’s efforts to boost economic growth and promote tourism by investing in road projects that create a conducive environment for economic activities and encourage local tourism, ultimately leading to increased economic opportunities.
“The project’s positive effects extend to public safety, especially during the rainy season, as well-constructed roads prove more resilient to adverse weather, thereby reducing risks linked to road usage in inclement conditions and contributing to overall community safety, while also enhancing the reliability of the road network,” he furthered.
The agency earmarked P4.9 million for the project under the 2023 national budget. (CLJD-PIA 3)
