The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed a farm-to-market road aimed at ensuring road accessibility for local residents, reducing transportation costs for agricultural goods in Barangay Sta. Lucia, Angat, Bulacan.
The completed section of the project spans 2.09 kilometers of concrete pavement and includes 92 meters of stone masonry, ensuring both durability and improved transportation efficiency.
Based on the report to DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan by Region III Director Roseller Tolentino, the farm-to-market road is expected to boost local trade, increase productivity, lower transportation cost, and minimize post-harvest losses of residents in the area.
“The completed project does not just physically improve accessibility in the area, but also represents a commitment to growth, resilience, and sustainable progress for the community it serves.”
