Davao City (3 July) -- Department of Public Works and Highways Regional Director Yusop Ali has committed that the completion of the Manay-Boston Road would happen before the end of this year.
This is a project under the Surigao-Davao Coastal Road Project included in the Super Regions Project of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
The Surigao-Davao Road Project covers 300 kilometers from Surigao City to the boundary town of Davao Oriental.
Davao Oriental First District Representative Nelson Dayanghirang announced in yesterday's 42nd Foundation Anniversary Program the expected date of completion of the said project.
"Our farmers can easily transport their goods especially now that municipalities of Davao Oriental are already connected to Surigao. This would translate to further development in our area," he said.
The Mati-Manay stretch in Davao Oriental was already completed last year.
Meanwhile, data from the DPWH showed that the Boston-Manay section is half complete; the Bislig-Boston section is now 60 percent complete; while the Marihatag-Hinatuan-Bislig is half complete.
Once completed, this road network would speed up the traveling time of tourists going to the coastal areas of Davao Oriental and it would also provide better transport access for the aquamarine products going to the market areas and processing facilities. (PIA XI)
