DAVAO CITY – The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said Thursday it has completed the widening of the Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia Road in San Fernando, Bukidnon.
In a statement, the DPWH said the P96-million project "covers the road widening of a previously two-lane road into four lanes and the construction of box culvert as drainage and riprap at critical sections."
The road section, it added, has a total length of 2.76 kilometers.
DPWH Secretary Mark Villar added that the road widening project will improve traffic safety.
“Since the Kapalong-Talaingod-Valencia road connects the province of Bukidnon and Davao del Norte, these extra lanes added will definitely cater to the increasing number of vehicles traversing the section and at the same time, improve traffic safety,” said Villar.
