THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has successfully completed two projects aimed at enhancing road safety and durability in the municipalities of Guimba and Zaragosa, Nueva Ecija.
With combined cost of P192.02-million, the road repair and upgrading works implemented by DPWH Nueva Ecija 1st District Engineering Office (DEO) involved portions of Tarlac-Guimba Road in Barangay Banitan, Guimba and Sta. Rosa-Tarlac Road in Barangay H. Romero, Poblacion, and Sto. Rosario, Zaragosa town.
In a report to DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, DPWH Region 3 Director Roseller A. Tolentino said that the asphalt overlaying covered 2.8 kilometers of road in Guimba, and 4.796-lane kilometers of road in Zaragosa.
“Reflectorized thermoplastic markings were also applied to alert drivers to potential hazards, thereby aiming to reduce accidents and enhance overall safety,” said Regional Director Tolentino.
The completion of the road projects in Guimba and Zaragosa which were funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA), has greatly benefited motorists by improving access to public transportation and reducing the risk of accidents for vehicles traveling between provinces. (UnliNews Online)
