ORMOC CITY– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 4th District Engineering Office undertakes the repair and rehabilitation of slope protection structures along Curva-Domonar Road in Ormoc City, Leyte.
Backed by P94.7 million in funding from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (NDRRMF), the project covers the rehabilitation of 5.52 lane kilometers of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP). Most of this—5.44 lane kilometers—are 3.05 meters wide, with the remaining 0.08 lane kilometers at 1.05 meters wide.
The project also includes the repair of 4,419.14 square meters of slope protection structures. These are especially important in an area like Curva-Domonar, where steep terrain and heavy rains can lead to erosion or landslides. By reinforcing the slopes along the road, the structures help keep the road stable, safe, and passable.
Work is ongoing and set to be completed by July 2025. Once finished, the improved road is expected to make daily travel easier, ensure more reliable access to services, and minimize the impact of natural hazards on the local community. (PR)
