CAPOOCAN, Leyte – The Leyte 2nd District Engineering Office (L2DEO) of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has successfully completed preventive maintenance on the Lemon (Sitio Ansubas) segment in Capoocan, improving travel conditions along the Palo-Carigara-Ormoc road.
District Engineer Leo Edward Oppura reported that P 8.77 million was allocated for this project.
The funds were used for reblocking 211.05 square meters of existing Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP), applying 0.355 kilometers of asphalt overlay, and installing thermoplastic pavement markers for enhanced road safety.
The completion of this maintenance work has significantly improved traffic flow on the road, leading to a noticeable reduction in average travel time.
This improvement benefits both commuters and visitors traveling to Ormoc and Biliran province.
Implemented by DPWH L2DEO, this project was funded by the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA) and was completed in the second quarter of the year.
