TACLOBAN CITY—Justice Romualdez Street, a major route in the downtown area of Tacloban City serving large volume of vehicles, underwent a significant road improvement implemented by the Tacloban City District Engineering Office (TCDEO), concluded on June 08, 2024.
Funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act with a total contract amount of P18-million, the project covered the application of an asphalt overlay over an existing portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) spanning 1.232 lane kilometers.
The newly asphalted road addresses issues such as cracks, potholes, and uneven surfaces, thereby increasing both road durability and safety. The upgrade was also undertaken to accommodate the increasing number of vehicles using Justice Romualdez Street, providing a smoother and safer driving experience for all road users while improving traffic efficiency.
District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse emphasized the benefits of the project, stating, “The new asphalted road will ensure a more durable and safer route, which is essential for handling the high volume of vehicles using Justice Romualdez Street. Our goal is to provide a lasting solution that enhances both safety and traffic efficiency for everyone traveling this route.”
