 The ongoing rehabilitation, reconstruction and upgrading of damaged paved national road along Daang Maharlika Highway in Davao del Norte is progressing ahead of anticipated schedule by DPWH.

The DPWH Davao del Norte district engineering office headed by District Engineer Fernando S. Ongkiko, Jr. oversees the actual implementation of the project in order to finish it on time or ahead of schedule.
"In addition, OYSTER workers of the Davao del Norte District Engineering Office are maintaining the cleanliness of Daang Maharlika road especially its shoulders on both sides.

Ensuring the preservation of national roads along the national road network in Southern Mindanao, the Department of Public Works and Highways reported the decrease of apprehension of overloaded vehicles in the two DPWH weighbridges in Region XI.
DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. said that the DPWH efforts to save funds through the strict enforcement of RA 8794 or Anti-Overloading Law have gained positive results in Mindanao because out of the 4,979 weighed cargo trucks apprehended in January 2009, only 232 were found exceeded in the allowable 13 ton per axle load limit.
“ Many of the cargo trucks transport providers had realized the importance of complying with the law to assure that our roads are in top condition, of course we will have to continue our campaign to prolong the lifespan of our road network” Ebdane said.
DPWH Region XI Director Osop Ali said that in coordination with the Philippine National Police, Land Transportation Office and the local government the apprehended vehicles were fined according to their corresponding excess loads.
“ We are strictly enforcing the provisions of the Anti-Overloading law because the fines collected were shall be used for road maintenance works such as road-reblocking, asphalt patching and installation of road safety devices along the national roads in our region” Ali added.
The DPWH weigh bridges are located along the Daang Maharlika Highway, in Tres de Mayo in Digos City being operated by the DPWH Region XI office; and in Panabo City in Davao Del Norte being operated by the Davao del Norte District Engineering Office.
As one of the agricultural and tourist highways in Mindanao, Ali also added that it is important to keep the Maharlika Highway in top condition and always passable at all times to assure the continuous flow of trade. |

NEW ROAD LINKING NORTHERN AND EASTERN MINDANAO FAST TRACKED- DPWH |
Top |

Local as well as foreign agricultural investors in Eastern Mindanao are now conducting geographic survey for the possible development of palm oil plantation in the fertile highlands of Talaingod in Davao Del Norte as the Department of Public Works and Highways speeds up the completion of the P1.5 Billion Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia-Bukidnon Road.
This road project is a new road opening which will shorten the travel time of motorists coming from Davao to Cagayan De Oro and vice versa for about 80 kilometers.
In his report to DPWH Secretary Hermogenes E. Ebdane Jr. DPWH Region XI Director Osop Ali said that since they have already completed the gravelling of the entire 57.63 kilometers of the road project, agricultural investors from the metropolis had already started to coordinate with the municipal agricultural office.
“ Even majority of the road project is not yet paved, many truckers and other transport service providers are now using the new road opening because they save a total of three to four hours of travelling time and also saves them fuel allocation” Ali added.
The Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia Road project is one of the SONA projects of President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo as it aims to develop agri-business in Mindanao by provision of vital road infrastructure facilities connecting agricultural communities to the market areas and food processing facilities.
To date, the project is already 54.60% complete, ahead of 31% compared to its scheduled accomplishement rating.
Municipality of Talaingod Mayor Pilar Libayao, also a native of the Lumad community said that, since the DPWH has completed the road opening majority of the farming Lumad communities can now deliver their cassava, sweet potato and corn products to the market areas within 5 hours through their horses compared to a whole day of traveling time when the road is not yet resurfaced. |
