DPWH completes 2 road projects in Pangasinan

Two infrastructure projects in Pangasinan have been completed by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) days before the next administration takes over.

DPWH Sec. Roger Mercado said they already completed the roads in Alaminos City and Malasiqui to provide ease of access to motorists in Pangasinan.

The two-lane Casolming Bridge along Pangasinan-Zambales Road in Alaminos City has now been widened into four lanes to accommodate the increasing number of motorists traversing the northern and westernP parts of the city.

The newly widened 46.2-meter bridge project funded was with P49 million under the 2021 General Appropriations Act .

"It is expected to improve delivery of agricultural products to nearby cities and towns," said Mercado.

He added that they also completed the asphalt overlay along the 4.764-km stretch of Villasis-Malasiqui-San Carlos Road in Malasiqui, Pangasinan.

The P20.7-million road improvement, funded under the General Appropriations Act of 2022, included asphalt overlay, reblocking, thermoplastic pavement markings, and installation of road signs.
