The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) – Pampanga 2nd District Engineering Office (DEO) has improved mobility for residents and motorists by paving a 780.9-lineal-meter section of Cervantes Road in Barangay Sto. Niño, Guagua.
District Engineer Gregorio Audea, Jr. explained that the project was implemented in phases, beginning with a 470.9-lineal-meter section in 2023, which also included a drainage system to prevent flooding and manage water runoff, costing P19.79 million.
“Phase 2 involved an additional 310 linear meters with a total width of five meters, completed in 2024 at a cost of P19.79 million. This improvement enhances road safety and accessibility for both residents and commuters,” Audea added.
Meanwhile, local residents shared that the previously unpaved road posed challenges for daily transportation, with dust accumulating during dry seasons and mud making travel difficult during rainy seasons.
With a total cost of P39.58 million, the project reflects the DPWH’s commitment to improving road conditions, ensuring safer travel, and supporting the area’s long-term development.#
