The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Region 6 is undertaking the concreting of the existing gravel road going to Brgy. Bucari, which leads to Bucari Pineridge Mountain Resort of the “little Baguio” of Iloilo.

With the amount of P81.3 million, the project involves the road upgrading from unpaved to paved of 2.133 kilometers national road with 0.28-meter thick Portland Concrete Cement Pavement (PCCP), 6.70 meters wide.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will open tomorrow, February 24, 2017 the newly completed Lucban Bridge that serves as a replacement to an old bridge along Manila North Road (MNR) in the municipality of Abulug, Cagayan Province.

Costing P631 million, the 825-lineal meter Lucban Bridge crossing over the Cagayan River is seen to boost trade and tourism in Region 2.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reiterates its public warning against unscrupulous individuals pretending to be or dropping the name of the top officials of the department for personal or financial interests.

The warning is in view of DPWH Secretary Mark A. Villar’s recent memorandum warning officials and employees of the Department of persistent attempts of solicitation in disguise as high-ranking officials.

More than a hundred women engineers participated at the Women Engineers Network (WEN) Forum held at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Head Office in Port Area, Manila on Wednesday, March 8, 2017.
