CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Pampanga (PIA) -- Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed a P9.79 million road concreting project in Porac, Pampanga.
 
The infrastructure in barangay Manibaug Paralaya was built under the agency’s Sustainable Infrastructure Projects Alleviating Gaps (SIPAG) Program.
 
DPWH Pampanga 2nd District Engineer Gregorio Audea Jr. said SIPAG Program funds the construction of access roads that connect national roads to major public establishments. 
 
“For example, this project now provides the residents of barangay Manibaug Paralaya with better access to Calzadang Bayu Road which in turn is connected to Angeles-Porac-Floridablanca-Dinalupihan Road,” he explained.
 
The project includes concreting of a 432.05-lineal meter section of the local road.
 
It likewise consists of the construction of a 480-lineal meter line canal designed to remove rainwater that accumulates on the road surface that often causes pavement damage. (CLJD-PIA 3)
