TACLOBAN CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte 2nd District Engineering Office is implementing a P44.4-million preventive maintenance project along the Palo-Carigara-Ormoc Road in Tunga town, one of the region’s busiest routes.
District Engineer Leo Edward Oppura said the project aims to prevent road deterioration and ensure safer travel by resurfacing asphalt pavement, re-blocking damaged portions with concrete, and improving bridge approaches in Naliwatan and Tunga.
Thermoplastic pavement markings will also be installed to enhance night-time visibility.
The project, funded under the 2025 General Appropriations Act, began on March 21 and is now 65% complete.
