ORANI, Bataan (PIA) -- Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed the construction of a new concrete road in Hermosa, Bataan.
The 510.00-linear meter structure is located in barangay Sumalo.
DPWH Bataan 1st District Engineer Erlindo Flores Jr. said the new concrete road seeks to provide residents with a safer and more efficient route.
Previously, residents had to endure a rough and uneven journey to reach their destinations, but with this new road, their travel experience has been transformed into a secure and accessible route for the community.
"The development of this P4.49-million infrastructure is essential in unlocking the maximum potential of our rural communities and exemplifies our dedication in enhancing the livelihood of Bataeños,” Flores emphasized.
The project provides a streamlined and accessible route, enabling faster emergency response, particularly in critical medical situations.
It was implemented under the DPWH Basic Infrastructure Program and funded through the 2023 General Appropriations Act. (CLJD-PIA 3)
