The preventive road maintenance works completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) along Pagadian – Zamboanga City Road in Tigbao, Zamboanga Del Sur enhanced driving comfort and increased safety for motorists.
According to DPWH Regional Office 9 Director Cayamombao D. Dia, the road section in Barangay Nilo used to have potholes, cracks, and uneven pavement, posing dangers to motorists traversing the area.
The project covers 896 lineal meters of asphalt overlay with concrete pavement reblocking along damaged portions, as well as application of reflectorized thermoplastic pavement markings for road visibility and safety.
“With the upgraded road condition, the risk of accidents is now reduced, thereby ensuring a safer and smoother travel for locals. Moreover, these maintenance works will also extend the lifespan of the road, resulting to less vehicle maintenance costs,” said Director Dia.
The preventive road maintenance project was undertaken by DPWH Zamboanga del Sur 2nd District Engineering Office in the amount of P50 million.
