Daet gets P90 million road widening project

DAET, Camarines Sur: A P90 million highway widening project, stretching 6.8 kilometers from downlown Daet to Barangay Bagasbas, is being carried out by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) district office of Camarines Norte.

Bagasbas is a popular beach haven for tourists.

Assistant DPWH district engineer Ricardo L Pacardo said that the highway widening that adds two-meter breadth on both sides of the national road is now 60 per cent complete.

Pacardo said four contractors won the bid to implement the project that covers at least six sections and is scheduled for completion at the end of September this year.

Daet town officials here said the road widening project, credited to the efforts of Camarines Norte First district Congressman Elmer Panotes, shall facilitate access of tourists to Bagasbas beach. – Vox Bicol
