Skeletal forces will be deployed in three strategic areas along
Leyte’s second district starting 5p.m. on Oct. 31 up to 12 noon of November 2.
The areas include the DPWH field office in Carigara town, the
Lemon junction in Capoocan town, and along the Burauen-Julita junction in Dulag
town.
“As directed by the central office, the teams to be deployed shall
assist roadside concerns of motorists joining the All Saints’ Day rush,” DPWH
district engineer Carlos Veloso said in a mobile phone interview Sunday.
Uniformed teams will provide prompt assistance on normal and
emergency situations in strategic locations along major thoroughfares on a
round-the-clock shift.
The agency added that the teams shall also coordinate with the
Land Transportation Office (LTO), Philippine National Police (PNP), and
officials of local government units (LGUs).
DPWH added that it is coordinating with contractors to guarantee
proper scheduling of road works and installation of necessary traffic advisory.
All national highways, particularly those leading to public and
private cemeteries, are now being cleared of obstructions and potholes to
ensure safety of the huge volume of motorists expected to flock for the long
weekend. (LAAA/PNA)
