The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed preventive maintenance works on the crucial sections of the Davao City Diversion Road, in an effort to improve connectivity and enhance the daily travel of motorists and commuters in the greater Davao City. In his report to Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, DPWH Regional Office 11 Director Juby B. Cordon said that the asphalt overlaying works on the 5.76-lane kilometer road section of the diversion route is a vital measure in fortifying the infrastructure’s resilience, further reinforcing longer operational life. “The preventive maintenance works of Davao City Diversion Road is one of the routine activities to maintain good road conditions, thereby preventing the need for total rehabilitation, thus contributing to the economic development of its town corridors,” added Director Cordon. The Davao City Diversion Road serves as an alternative route that helps decongest traffic in the major areas of Davao City and improve road access to daily commuters, particularly benefiting the business districts and communities, including Buhangin, Maa, Matina, and Toril. Implemented by DPWH Davao City District Engineering Office, the project was completed in the amount of P96.5 Million, funded under the 2024 DPWH Infrastructure Program. |
