The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed an access road project enhancing transport access in Kabasalan, Zamboanga Sibugay.
Implemented by DPWH Zamboanga Sibugay 2nd District Engineering Office in the amount of P90 million, the project involved the concrete cement paving of a 1.9-kilometer road with provision of pipe culverts, stone masonry, and grouted riprap.
Stretching from Barangay Banker to Barangay Sinian, the paved road in Kabasalan has improved connectivity by providing a safer and more efficient travel for motorists traversing the area.
“Residents of the said barangays now benefit travel time savings going to and from markets and other commercial establishments and neighboring communities,” said DPWH Regional Office 9 Director Cayamombao D. Dia.
The upgraded road condition will also help boost local economic growth by reducing transport costs, thereby attracting potential investments in the area.
Other works on the project included the installation of metal guardrails and thermoplastic pavement markings as safety features.
