Driving along Daang Maharlika in Barangay Cutar, Aritao, Nueva Vizcaya has become smoother and seamless with the recent asphalt overlay project implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
DPWH Regional Office 2 Director Reynaldo C. Alconcel, citing a report from DPWH Nueva Vizcaya 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO) said that completed asphalting works would shield the bustling Daang Maharlika to prevent early deterioration and prolong service life of the major north-south highway in the Philippines.
“Improving road surface through asphalt overlay will ultimately save time and resources for maintenance while enhancing pavement serviceability and promoting safety and convenience for the traveling public,” said Director Alconcel.
In addition, the road improvement project also features reflectorized yellow and white pavement markings as a safety feature especially during night time.
The asphalt overlay of the four-lane Daang Maharlika in Barangay Cutar was completed by DPWH Nueva Vizcaya 2nd DEO in March 2023 in the amount of P45.2 million.
