TACLOBAN CITY — The Leyte 2nd District Engineering Office of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has reported the completion of a preventive maintenance project in Pastrana town.
This initiative aims to provide motorists with a smooth access road along the Sta. Fe-Pastrana-Dagami road section.
According to District Engineer Leo Edward Oppura, the project included reblocking 113.47 square meters of Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP) and applying an asphalt overlay over 712 linear meters of the existing pavement in Barangay Socsocon along the Sta. Fe-Pastrana-Dagami road section.
The project also incorporated provisions for thermoplastic pavement markings to enhance road visibility, particularly at night and during heavy rainfall.
The DPWH Preventive Maintenance Program aims to prolong road durability, improve transportation networks, and generate long-term cost savings by reducing the need for frequent repairs.
The total cost of this project was P16.35 million, sourced from the DPWH CY 2024 General Appropriations Act. The project was completed on June 4, 2024, and undertaken by Socor Construction Corporation.
