The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed its river wall project along the Magat River in Barangay Bonfal Proper, Bayombong, Nueva Vizcaya.
Built by the DPWH Nueva Vizcaya First District Engineering Office, the project features a 512-linear meter concrete structure composed of anchorage, embankment, mattresses, gabions, and spur dikes, which serves as a barrier against the overflow of Magat River.
DPWH Nueva Vizcaya First District Engineer Marifel T. Andes reported to Secretary Manual M. Bonoan that the newly constructed river water defense wall will safeguard homes, livelihoods, and essential infrastructure along Magat River’s low-lying section.
“The new Bonfal Proper Flood Control Project will significantly protect against flooding,” said District Engineer Andes.
The flood control project was completed in the amount of P50 million funded under the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
