The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) recently completed its road widening project along C.A. Yulo Avenue connecting South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) and leading to industrial parks in Canlubang, Calamba City, Laguna.
With the allocation of ₱101.32 Million, the project covers the construction of 1.4 kilometer, 14-meter-wide additional concrete pavement that can accommodate four (4) more lanes. The project has a 1-meter center island and streetlights.
“With the completion of widening, the public will be able to utilize 6 lanes highway or 3 lanes per direction,” said Regional Director Jovel G. Mendoza of DPWH Regional Office No. IV-A.
“In addition to facilitating better connectivity, this will significantly promote trade and economic activities in the area,” added Regional Director Mendoza.
Other improvements are currently ongoing such as the 1.6-meter widening on both sides of the existing 1.4-kilometer length, and provision of drainage, sidewalk, curb and gutter.
The provision of bicycle facilities is also considered in the 2023 implementation consistent with the continuing efforts of the DPWH to support the promotion of active modes of transport.
