CATARMAN, Northern Samar– The Department of Public Works and Highways Northern Samar First DEO recently completed another Farm-to-Market Road (FMR) in Brgy. E. Duran, Bobon Northern Samar.
The P4.96 million project involves the construction of Road with total length of 155.00 meters which includes embankment from roadway excavation and slope protection structures on stone masonry of 5 meters on left side and 40 meters on right side.
District Engineer Alvin A. Ignacio said the newly completed road project will greatly benefit local farmers in the area. The transportation of agricultural products from farms to the market will now be more efficient and convenient.
“Local farmers will no longer traverse through unpaved roads that pose risks, especially during rainy season. With the completion of said project, transportation of farm produce will be more convenient.”
Funded under the convergence program of the Department of Agriculture and DPWH, farm-to-market roads are vital infrastructure projects aimed at boosting agricultural productivity and rural development.
In the long run, the completion of this road will contribute to increased connectivity, eventually linking Western Samar and further expanding economic opportunities in the area.
