BALER, Aurora (PIA) — Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) completed two infrastructure projects in the province of Aurora.
These include a covered court in Dilasag and a drainage rehabilitation in Baler.
DPWH Aurora District Engineer Roderick Andal said the P5.39-million covered court at Dimaseset Elementary School compound has a total floor area of 600 square meters.
“It has ramps for Persons with Disabilities with handrails for easy entry into the court. It also has basketball rings and court lights to ensure that the facility can be used even at night,” he added.
Moreover, the P9.8-million drainage rehabilitation project along the Reserva Section of Baler-Casiguran Road covered the construction of a reinforced concrete box culvert as drainage with a length of 12 meters and a 100-lineal meter slope protection structure.
“It will not only provide a safer and better travel experience for residents and motorists but will also mitigate flooding in the area as water from Kalipatan Creek will now flow more freely under the roadway through the culverts,” Andal furthered.
Both projects were funded under the 2022 General Appropriations Act. (CLJD-PIA 3)
