A bypass road paved by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) now provides faster and more comfortable travel in the municipality of Maayon and its neighboring towns in the province of Capiz.
The 1.22-kilometer Maayon Bypass Road Project now decongests traffic in the main thoroughfare of the municipalities of Maayon and Cuartero, and Barangay Bailan in Pontevedra.
With the new road, travel time from Barangay Indayagan to Barangay Poblacion Ilawod in Maayon is shortened as well, providing better access to Cuartero through Jct. National Road Cuartero-Maindang-Tapulang-Maayon Road.
“Maayon Bypass Road, which is an extension of the improved project from the prior year, will also allow easier distribution of economic activities between downtown areas and new development areas along the bypass route”, said Secretary Roger G. Mercado, citing a report from DPWH Region 6 Director Tiburcio DL Canlas.
Costing P37.5 million, DPWH Capiz 1st District Engineering Office implemented the concreting of the bypass road with 1,620-lineal meter drainage component.
