DPWH Completes Newly Improved Makilala-Allah Valley Road In North Cotabato
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) under the
administration of President Rodrigo Duterte recently completed the major rehab
of the 1.14-kilometer section of Makilala-Allah Valley-Mlang Road in North
Cotabato.
According to DPWH Secretary Mark Villar, a total of P44-million was
allocated to implement the road improvement project which involves asphalt
overlay and provision of solar-powered street lights.
The improvement of Makilala-Allah Valley-Mlang Road was
implemented by Cotabato 1st District Engineering Office under the Road
Preventive Maintenance program of the Department that aims to clear roads from
potholes and other obstructions, as well as ensure enough and proper road
markings and signages
“Serving as a connection to Maharlika Highway, the
newly-improved Makilala-Allah Valley-Mlang Road will serve thousands of
motorists and farmers who grow and trade agri-industrial products in the
province such as rubber, rice, coconut, coffee, banana, and durian,” said
Secretary Villar.
Solar-powered street lighting is also a free, eco-friendly
feature that will ensure safety of the commuters and pedestrians utilizing the
road at night time.
“We are pushing for the inclusion of street lights in our
road projects nationwide, especially in dark areas where there are no proper
lighting coming from houses and establishments. In these cases, street lights
are vital in preventing the occurrence of accidents,” added Secretary Villar.
