Motorists and residents can now experience improved travel experience at Jose Abad Santos Avenue (JASA) and Daang Maharlika Highway after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) recently completed four (4) road maintenance projects in San Isidro and Gapan City in the Province of Nueva Ecija.
DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, based on reports from DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller A. Tolentino, said that the DPWH Nueva Ecija Second District Engineering Office (DEO) improved through asphalt overlaying the sections of JASA in San Isidro and Daang Maharlika Highway in Gapan City.
Works along JASA also includes the upgrading of the 957.3-meter segment in Barangay Poblacion to Barangay Malapit and the 1.9-kilometer segment in Barangay San Roque to Barangay Sto. Cristo.
Meanwhile, also enhanced are the portions of Daang Maharlika in Gapan City namely the 1.7-kilometer segment in Barangay Sto. Cristo Norte to Barangay Bayanihan and the 1.14-kilometer section in Barangay Bayanihan and Barangay San Vicente.
According to Secretary Bonoan, the projects amounting to P254.95 million were funded through the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA) under the DPWH’s Asset Preservation Program.
“The completion of these asphalt overlay projects reflects our commitment to continuously improve existing road infrastructure to benefit motorists and residents in both rural and highly urbanized areas in the country,” said Secretary Bonoan.
