QUEZON, Nueva Vizcaya (PIA) - The Department of Public Works and Highways has completed a road project that is expected to boost trade and tourism in Quezon town in Nueva Vizcaya.

Engineer Marifel Andes, chief of the 1st Engineering District of DPWH Nueva Vizcaya, said the P19.3 million Jacinto-Esquivel Road Project in Barangay Baresbes will inspire upland farmers to engage more in agriculture as better access road is already provided for them.

She also said the road development project will surely draw local and foreign tourists as it links the national highway to the Plaza Patring Falls, an ecotourism attraction of the municipality.

“With the road spanning from Baresbes, Quezon to market centers, the improved accessibility will also benefit local businesses,” she said.

The road project is an 860-meter concrete paved road that will provide ease and comfort among villagers, who are mostly upland farmers in accessing various market outlets for their products.
