TACLOBAN CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways-Leyte 2nd District Engineering Office has launched a road concreting project in Barangay Canlampay, Carigara, Leyte to enhance mobility and economic activity in the area.
The project covers 2.2 kilometers of 200mm-thick Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) with a 5-meter width. It also includes pipe culverts and stone masonry headwalls to improve drainage and road durability.
“This will boost connectivity and commerce, especially for farmers and small businesses relying on reliable road access,” said District Engineer Leo Edward Oppura.
Now 13% complete, the project is expected to reduce travel time, improve safety, and ease access to essential services for residents.
The Leyte 2nd DEO is closely monitoring the work to ensure timely completion in line with its mission to improve public infrastructure and support sustainable development in the district.
