The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed two infrastructure projects allowing for much-needed road improvements and enhanced flood resilience in Maria Aurora, Aurora.
DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller Tolentino identified the completed projects funded under the 2022 General Appropriations Act (GAA) namely the concrete paving of local road network in Barangay Detailen and the provision of a flood control structure along Pacugao River in Barangay Cabituculan East.
“A total of 1.99 kilometers of road have been improved into concrete with lined canals.”
Citing a report from DPWH Aurora District Engineer Roderick Andal, Tolentino said that a total of 1.99 kilometers of road have been improved into concrete with lined canals in the amount of P29.4 million.
“The newly-concreted roads in Barangay Detailen now facilitate better mobility in the community benefiting locals especially those engaged in coconut farming,” Tolentino stressed.
Meanwhile, DPWH Aurora DEO has finished building a 232.50-meter flood control structure along the Pacugao River segment that runs through Barangay Cabituculan East.
According to Tolentino, the flood control structure built in the amount of P19.6 million now serves as a crucial protection for residential areas and farmlands against potential inundation from river water overflow.
