“We are glad to announce that motorists traversing this 10-kilometer segment are having a smoother, safer, and quieter travel experience in the area,” Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar said.
The road project, Villar added, covers the Libon-Pantao-Pioduran Road Section from Barangay Pantao to Apud, traversing Barangays Talin-Talin and Rawis.
A total of P189.08 million was spent to complete the road improvement project.
It was implemented under the Japan International Cooperation Agency-assisted Road Upgrading and Preservation Projects (RUPP).
The project also involved the reconstruction of base and subbase courses as well as 50-millimeter-thick asphalt overlay, according to Undersecretary Emil Sadain.
