Ormoc City – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office (DEO) completes the preventive maintenance of a four-lane, 90-meter section of the Ormoc-Baybay-Southern Leyte Boundary Road with road segment K1012+374 to K1012+464.
Funded under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2025 with a contract cost of Php 6,213,000.56, the project involved the removal of defective asphalt pavement and the application of emulsified asphalt, followed by a 50mm Bituminous Concrete Surface Binder Course and a 50mm Bituminous Concrete Surface Wearing Course.
To further enhance road safety and visibility, reflectorized thermoplastic pavement markings were also applied.
“The completed works will restore the pavement’s durability and improve riding quality for motorists,” said OIC-District Engineer Peter Scheler V. Soco, “This ensures safer travel along this route that links Ormoc City proper to the neighboring barangays.” (PR)
