Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon has allotted P270 million from the agency’s available funds to complete the 250-meter rockshed, road slip and road cut along strategic portions Kennon Road leading to Baguio City to ensure it remains passable even during the rainy season.
Dizon led a team of DPWH officials who inspected the rockshed along Camp 6, the road slip between Camp 4 and Camp 5 and the rod cut in Camp 2, all along Kennon road Sunday morning before proceeding home to Pampanga to personally assess the situation of the historic thoroughfare.
Dizon cited the need to rehabilitate the whole structure and repair the damage inflicted by recent typhoons to ensure it serves its purpose of preventing frequent closures due to landslides during the rainy season.
President Marcos assessed last year the extent of damage inflicted by the typhoons on the integrity of the rockshed.
