Public Works and Highways Secretary Manuel Bonoan has ordered all Regional and District Engineering Offices nationwide to conduct highway routine maintenance activities to ensure uninterrupted traffic flow along major roads this coming Holy Week.
“In anticipation of the heavy flow of traffic this long weekend, implementing offices were instructed to ensure the provision of informative/regulatory warning signs or traffic advisory along ongoing road projects,” Bonoan said.
“They shall likewise make sure that appropriate warning, directional, and information signages are legibly and visibly installed especially along critical sections leading to churches, for the safety of those who will go for Visita Iglesia.”

In addition, the Department’s ‘Lakbay Alalay’ Program will also be reactivated to provide prompt emergency assistance to motorists and commuters.
The Motorist Assistance Teams will be stationed along strategic national roads and will be mobilized starting Thursday, March 28, 2024 until Friday, March 29, 2024, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm.
The public may approach the deployed “Lakbay Alalay” teams which are composed of DPWH uniformed field and crew personnel with maintenance equipment on standby at standard navy blue-colored tents on strategic parts of national roads.
