TACLOBAN CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Tacloban City District Engineering Office (TCDEO) is constructing a 144.7-million flood control structure along the Camansihay River, Tacloban City, which will soon safeguard the nearby community from potential flooding.
The construction of this project, now in its early stages, aims to prevent water accumulation that could affect nearby residential areas, a local school, and a commercial establishment.
With heavy rainfall contributing to water build-up, the structure is expected to play a critical role in protecting the community.
The 730-lineal-meter stone masonry flood control structure will help manage water flow and prevent the dangerous build-up that leads to flooding.
“This project is crucial in protecting the community. Upon completion, this flood control structure will greatly lower the risk of flooding from heavy rains and water accumulation, providing a safer place for them,” said District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse.
