The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has upgraded and reconstructed the damaged section along Pagadian-Zamboanga City Road in the municipality of Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur.
In her report, DPWH Region 9 Director Cayamombao D. Dia said that the project involved the repair of 3.8 kilometers of two (2) middle lanes of an existing four (4)-lane road traversing Barangay Camanga.
“This project aims to enhance road safety and facilitate smoother travel for residents and commuters, benefitting about 40,000 locals in the area,” said Director Dia.
The project features a 3.35-meter carriageway, retaining walls on intermittent sections, and solar yellow studs with thermoplastic pavement markings for better nighttime visibility.
DPWH Zamboanga del Sur 1st District Engineering Office oversaw the implementation of the P50 million road rehabilitation project.
The completed work reflects the DPWH commitment to improving infrastructure and ensuring the reliability of vital transportation networks.
