The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed preventive maintenance works on the critical sections of the Surigao Del Sur boundary to Davao Oriental Coastal Road further improving connectivity and road safety along the boundaries of Caraga and Davao Region.
In his report to Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, DPWH Regional Office 11 Director Juby B. Cordon said that the preventive maintenance works on the four (4)-lane 2.21-kilometer road section from the Surigao Del Sur boundary to the coastal road is a vital measure in fortifying the road infrastructure’s service life, thus providing enhanced travel experience for the residents and tourists in the area.
“The asphalt overlaying works of Davao Oriental Coastal Road is one of the substantial road activities to prolong their service cycle, thereby preventing the need for rehabilitation and reconstruction,” added Director Cordon.
Implemented by DPWH Davao Oriental 1st District Engineering Office, the project also includes the construction of portland cement concrete pavement, installed with line canals, pavement markings, and warning signs as its road safety features.
