Tacloban City—The Tacloban City District Engineering Office (TCDEO) successfully completes a road asphalting project along San Jose, Manlurip, and MacArthur Park Road on July 20, 2024. This initiative is part of TCDEO’s ongoing preventive maintenance of various roads across Tacloban City, aimed at enhancing road safety and longevity.
Funded by the 2024 General Appropriations Act with a total contract amount of PHP 11.7-million, the project sought to address and prevent hazardous road conditions such as potholes, cracks, and uneven surfaces. The construction included the laying of high-quality asphalt over a 389-meter road section, designed to extend the lifespan of these roads and improve traffic flow for all users.
The newly asphalted roads are expected to significantly reduce maintenance needs and enhance driving comfort, contributing to safer and more efficient travel. This project not only aims to enhance road safety but also to support local economic activities by ensuring smoother transportation routes.
“By developing and transforming roads into a more durable and reliable route, we not only enhance the longevity of the roads but also significantly boost the safety of all road users,” said District Engineer Rebecca G. Yuse.
