PUBLIC WORKS TO UNDERTAKE BAGUIO CITY HIGHWAY IMPROVEMENT |

Baguio City, one of the most popular travel destinations in the Philippines for local and foreign tourists, is poised to have better road facilities that will improve mobility.
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has revealed the plan to undertake improvement of major roads including the rehabilitation and repair of old damaged concrete pavements.
Earlier, DPWH Secretary Rogelio L. Singson dispatched a team of engineers from the Central Office to validate the condition of roads and come up with measures to be undertaken based on the criteria of road repairs.
Among the recommended road works include re-blocking, preventive maintenance particularly asphalt overlay, instapave surface treatment, and installation of pavement markings and pavement studs for the safety of commuters.
With the roads within the Central Business District in Baguio City as among the most busiest particularly on weekends, holidays and during the summer months from April to June, Singson has directed Regional Director Edilberto Carabbacan and Baguio City District Engineer Ireneo S. Gallato to prepare a suitable implementation schedule to minimize travel inconvenience including necessary coordination activities with the local city officials.
No less than President Benigno S. Aquino III was among the holiday visitors that flocked to the city to enjoy 'well-deserved' 2012 Christmas break and experienced the nippy weather temperature.
The influx of tourists is also anticipated on the forthcoming activities in the city like the month-long “Panagbenga” flower festival in February, PMA Alumni Homecoming and Graduation Rites, and observance of Holy Week.
District Engineer Gallato with his technical staff vowed to strictly implement road improvement works based on plans and specifications and will immediately commence activities for bidded projects with the release of corresponding funds.
Other than road improvement project, DPWH for 2013 is undertaking the completion of Baguio City Circumferential Road to reduce traffic congestion in the city proper, flood control structure on flood-prone areas, and other road improvements leading to tourism zones with a total budget of P380 Million.
These projects were already bid-out in 2012 and post evaluation is presently being performed.
