Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office has completed the construction of a concrete road in Barangay Cacao, Kananga, Leyte.

The project involves the construction of 120 meters of 5-meter-wide Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP), 125 meters of 3-meter-wide PCCP for one-lane widening, and 937 meters of 1-meter-wide PCCP for additional lane widening. The project, funded under the FY 2025 General Appropriations Act (GAA), has a contract amount of P5,871,933.46.

With its completion, the improved road strengthens mobility within the barangay by easing vehicle flow and providing more dependable access to markets, schools, and essential services. Farmers who regularly transport produce to nearby trading centers are expected to benefit significantly from the improved surface and widened road sections, thus, supporting the local economic activity.
