Travelers now experience more efficient and safer road infrastructure after the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed improvements along Manila North Road (MNR) in Angeles City, Pampanga.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan, DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller Tolentino said that the preventive maintenance projects in the amount of P202.46 million along MNR were implemented by DPWH Pampanga Third District Engineering Office (DEO) on two segments.
Completed improvement projects were the asphalt overlaying on MNR’s 1.85-kilometer, six-lane section from Barangay Sto. Domingo to Barangay Sto. Cristo for the first segment and the asphalt resurfacing on the 1.35-kilometer, four-lane portion from Barangay Sto. Domingo to Barangay Sto. Rosario for the second segment.
To further improve road safety, the DPWH also installed solar-power studs which illuminate at night.
The project also involved the application of thermoplastic pavement markings on the road surface to better guide motorists during night and in times of adverse weather when road visibility is low. To further improve road safety, the DPWH also installed solar-power studs which illuminate at night.
Tolentino said that the completion of this project signifies a crucial step forward in the Department’s commitment to the safety and convenience of the public.
