DPWH applies modern road, drainage approach in Boracay



The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is using
state-of-the-art technology to ensure quality of roads and rain water pipes in this
resort island.

Public Works Secretary Mark A. Villar said during his visit here on Wednesday the agency is applying a German technology that uses high-density polyethylene pipes (HDPPs) in road concreting.

“This is one of a kind. It is considered to last for a 100 years. It’s also enough to cater to future developments of Boracay,” Villar said.

Villar also announced it would temporarily close the Boracay main road for a month beginning August 2 to give way to the road rehabilitation of this resort island.

The first 4 kilometers of road to be rehabilitated is expected to cost P450 million. According to Villar, this initial allocation includes not only the concreting of roads but also the application of the HDPP technology. The road closures would affect those going to school.
