THE Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed the construction of flood control and dike projects in Marinduque and Guimaras, worth more than P84 million.
DPWH Marinduque District Engineer Richard Emmanuel Ragragio identified the completed project in the province as a 366-meter flood-control structure along Mogpog River in Barangay Sumangga.
“The revetment structure built along the critical section of Mogpog River would direct the water flow towards the sea, instead of overflowing and flooding the low-lying barangay during the rainy season,” said Ragragio.
The P11.94 project involved the construction of a 765-meter, two-lane concrete road, complete with shoulder, catch basin, and drainage components, allowing better mobility for the residents, especially farmers in the area.
