CATARMAN, N. Samar– The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Northern Samar First District Engineering Office (NSFDEO) has officially launched its “Oplan DO 47” initiative to strengthen the routine maintenance of national roads and bridges within the district.

DO 47 is part of the Department’s initiative to optimize processes that cater to the needs of implementing offices while reinforcing its commitment to delivering essential infrastructure projects. The initiative also aims to extend the serviceable condition of roads and bridges through the appropriate and timely execution of routine maintenance activities.

As part of this directive, personnel from the DPWH-NSFDEO Maintenance Section, led by Section Chief Engr. Dahlia T. De Asis, actively participated in various maintenance activities, including the cleaning and painting of guardrails. These efforts not only ensure cleanliness but also enhance visibility for motorists, particularly at night, thereby improving road safety.

Aside from the DO 47, the Maintenance Section conducts monthly routine maintenance along all national road sections, ensuring that roads and bridges remain in optimal condition for the benefit of the travelling public.
