Friday, February 16, 2024

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed a project which now provides a safer and more convenient access between two (2) agricultural barangays in the town of Polangui, Albay Province.

In his report to DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, DPWH Regional Office 5 Director Virgilio C. Eduarte said that the DPWH Albay 3rd District Engineering Officer (DEO) has turned-over its recently-constructed road project connecting Barangay Gotob and Barangay Pinagdapugan.

Stretching 1.87 kilometer, the new two-lane concrete paved Gotob-Pinagdapugan Road was completed with road shoulders, lined canals, box culverts as drainage, and slope protection along strategic areas.

As additional safety feature, the entire road stretch was installed with solar-powered LED lights to improve road visibility at night.

The local road project in Polangui was implemented in the amount of P50 million, by the DPWH Albay 3rd DEO under the leadership of OIC-District Engineer Cornelio J. Relativo.
