San
Nicolas, Ilocos Norte—The Department of
Public Works and Highways (DPWH) 2nd district engineering district
said they have completed all the road-widening project along the Manila North
Road in the province’s second district.
DPWH 2nd
engineering district chief Engr. Mathias Malenab said the national road project
along their territorial jurisdiction is fully completed and is now open to the
public.
He, however, disclosed that
an ongoing road-widening project along parts of Badoc, Ilocos Norte is a
project of the DPWH regional office.
With the completion, Mr.
Malenab said their ongoing projects for now includes bridges, roads, flood
control, school buildings, and multi-purpose buildings among others.
Mr. Malenab also stressed
that he already made a reportorial notice as required by the Commission on
Elections. The notice states that all the ongoing projects were bid out prior
to the March 25 election ban.
Meanwhile, the DPWH engineer
said his office is open to all with regards to suggestions, queries, concerns
and comments on ongoing projects within their jurisdiction. This also applies
to DPWH national and regional projects as long as they are in the province’s
second district.
He intimated that he endorsed
two text messages complaining about the dust from an ongoing road
rehabilitation project along Brgy. 19 (San Lorenzo) in this town. He said the
dust is a form of air pollution. He endorsed the complaint to the Project
Management Office (PMO). The PMO’s satellite office in the province immediately
acted through the project contractor by watering the affected area. The project
in question is a regional DPWH project.
Mr. Malenab said this shows
that the DPWH is not only concerned with their projects but also with the public
that may be affected by them.
