Despite challenges brought by unfavorable weather conditions, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has now accomplished 79 percent of the rehabilitation of the 8.24-kilometer San Luis-Binicalan Road in Agusan Del Sur.
The P147.75 million project currently on its Phase 4 is under the Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (PAMANA) Program which aims to provide ease of access for conflict-stricken communities in Caraga.
Funded under the CY 2018, the project started in October 2018 and is expected to be completed on March 2020.
“The constructed road traversing the area leading to Barangay Binicalan has already brought so many advantages for the locals. We are glad that locals will soon utilize a wider and improved access road”, said DPWH Region 13 Director Pol M. Delos Santos.
He also assured that projects under the supervision of the Regional office strictly conform to the standards and policies of the Department for quality and on-schedule delivery.
The road rehabilitation of San Luis-Binicalan Road is one of the five ongoing projects under CY 2018 PAMANA projects identified by the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP) and implemented in various parts of the CARAGA Region, particularly in remote areas of Agusan Del Sur and Surigao Del Sur.
