Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office reports near completion of the Asset Preservation – Preventive Maintenance project along the Palo–Carigara–Ormoc Road, covering sections K1010+865 to K1010+947 and K1011+075 to K1011+867 in Ormoc City.
The project which is currently 90% completed aims to address pavement deterioration along a heavily trafficked roadway located within the city’s commercial area.
Scope of works include the construction of 2.7564 lane-kilometers of asphalt pavement with a total thickness of 100 millimeters, the installation of a 59-meter drainage canal, pavement widening through the construction of 30 square meters of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP), and the application of road markings, including designated pedestrian and bicycle lanes.
Implemented at a total cost of PHP 57,853,712.96 under the General Appropriations Act of 2025, OIC-District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco said the project is expected to support safer and more efficient travel within Ormoc City.
“This section experiences heavy traffic every day, so timely maintenance is necessary to keep the road safe and reliable,” Soco said. “By preserving the pavement and improving road features, we are able to provide better travel conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.” (PR)
