The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed a farm-to-market road (FMR) in South Cotabato, which it said, will serve as a connection between upland agricultural communities to the town proper of Surallah.
DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan said the road, which is 3.71-kilometer long 6.7-meter wide, involved the construction of a one-meter paved shoulder, reinforced slope protection, installation of metal guardrails and chevron signs, thermoplastic pavement markings making sure the safety of the public, and cross drain.
It connects Barangay Poblacion, Sto Niño to Barangay Upper Sepaka Surallah, South Cotabato.
“The new farm-to-market road will benefit locals as it connects upland agricultural communities, facilitate a more efficient delivery of products, and provide better access to basic services in remote areas,” said Bonoan.
Bonoan said the road has P96.5 million fund. (Nicole Magmanlac)
