The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has converted an old gravel road into a concrete cement pavement that now promotes easier and more convenient transportation access for residents and motorists in Sitio 2, Barangay Mulawin, Naujan, Oriental Mindoro.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, Regional Office IV-B Director Gerald A. Pacanan said that the completion of the 425.8-meter road concreting project has shortened travel time of residents to adjacent barangays in the municipality of Naujan hence, improving locals’ access to businesses, establishments, and essential services.
“The construction of this Portland cement concrete pavement road with shoulder on both sides in Sitio 2 in Barangay Mulawin not only cuts travel time but also provides an efficient access route that significantly reduces the risks of road accidents from the existing gravel road traversed by locals and visitors,” added Director Pacanan.
The road concreting project implemented by DPWH - Mindoro Oriental District Engineering Office was completed in the amount of P4.94 Million secured from the General Appropriations Act (GAA) of 2024.
