The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed two infrastructure projects that now improve accessibility and safety in Floridablanca, Pampanga.
DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan, citing reports from DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller Tolentino, identified the completed projects as the newly-constructed road dike in Barangay Carmencita and slope protection structure along Gumain River in Barangay Cabangcalan.
“The completed projects as the newly-constructed road dike in Barangay Carmencita and slope protection structure along Gumain River in Barangay Cabangcalan.”
The completed 804.50-linear-meter Barangay Carmencita Road Dike was paved in two sections measuring 660 lineal meters for section A and 144.50 lineal meters for section B.
“The P29.39-million concrete upgrade to the previously worn out and muddy road dike has enabled convenient and fast travel for local motorists and hauling trucks that often cross the area,” Bonoan explained.
Meanwhile, a slope protection structure with a length of 197.38 lineal meters was built along Gumain River’s Barangay Cabangcalan section.
The concrete revetment in Barangay Cabangcalan is connected to the 110.88 lineal-meter structure constructed in 2022, offering increased protection of lives and livelihood against catastrophic flooding.
Both projects were implemented by the DPWH Pampanga Second District Engineering Office (DEO) with funding sourced from the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
