As part of the agency’s asset preservation program, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) undertakes road improvement works along the Dulag-Julita-Burauen Road in the Municipality of Dulag, Leyte.
In a report submitted to Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, DPWH-Region 8 Director Edgar B. Tabacon said that the project involves reblocking of damaged pavement and asphalt overlay at intermittent sections, as well as the installation of thermoplastic pavement markers.
The project covers the improvement of road from Barangay Combis to Barangay San Vicente in Dulag, which aims to reduce the occurrence of accidents and improve travel safety for locals and travelers.
Target for completion by the middle of June 2023, the preventive maintenance works will help prolong the service life of roads by minimizing premature deterioration brought by heavily loaded vehicles.
The project is implemented by DPWH Leyte Second District Engineering Office (DPWH-L2DEO), with funding from the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
