ORMOC CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Leyte Fourth District Engineering Office finishes the Asset Preservation – Preventive Maintenance project in Brgy. Camp Downes, Ormoc City, funded under the General Appropriations Act (GAA) 2024 with an amount of Php 24,564,568.19.
For years, the existing road in Camp Downes has been a vital thoroughfare for residents and commuters. However, heavy use and prolonged exposure to the elements caused significant deterioration, necessitating intervention to restore its quality and functionality.
To address these challenges, a project involving an asphalt overlay covering 2.08 lane kilometers and constructing a 182-meter rectangular lined canal with a cover to improve drainage and prevent flooding was implemented.
With its completion, the road is now safer, more durable, and better equipped to accommodate increased traffic. This project reflects the DPWH’s commitment to maintaining public infrastructure at its best, ensuring it serves and enhances the daily lives of the community. (PR)
