Motorists and residents are now benefiting from the newly-upgraded Muñoz-Lupao Road in the Province of Nueva Ecija undertaken by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
DPWH Regional Office 3 Director Roseller Tolentino, in his report to DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan and Undersecretary for Central Luzon Operations Roberto Bernardo, said that the stretch of the Muñoz-Lupao Road in Barangay Agupalo Weste, Lupao town was upgraded through the application of asphalt overlay.
“The stretch of the Muñoz-Lupao Road in Barangay Agupalo Weste, Lupao town was upgraded through the application of asphalt overlay.”
A total of 4.33-lane-kilometer stretch of the tertiary road now has smoothened surface with installed thermoplastic pavement markings to enhance road safety and offer visual guidance to drivers and other road users.
“Conducting preventive maintenance projects extends the pavement’s lifespan by protecting the existing road from various environmental factors, thus postponing the need for more extensive and costly repairs in the future,” Tolentino said.
The DPWH Nueva Ecija First District Engineering Office (DEO) implemented the improvements along Muñoz-Lupao Road in the amount of P35.45 million sourced from the DPWH Regular Infrastructure Program under the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA).
