MANILA-\u00a0The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is more than halfway done with the first phase of a drainage improvement project along Manila North Road that will ease flooding in San Fernando City, La Union.<\/p>\n

DPWH Region 1 Director Ronnel M. Tan said the drainage project which covers a total length of 1.1-kilometers located at Barangays Sevilla and Catbangen is now 65 percent completed.<\/p>\n

\u201cSoon, the modernized drainage will be a big help to residents living in flood-prone areas of San Fernando City especially during rainy season and onslaught of typhoons,\u201d said Director Tan.<\/p>\n

Director Tan added that the project will be the answer to pleas of people living in low-lying parts of the city as it is designed to be the long term solution to perennial flooding in the city.<\/p>\n

The drainage improvement project in San Fernando City which was inspected by Secretary Mark A. Villar during his visit in Ilocos Region covers the construction of a 424.9-lineal meter concrete flume along Aguila Road; 32-lineal meter double barrel box culvert along Flores Street; 280-lineal single barrel meter box culvert along Mabini Street; and a 111.8-lineal meter single barrel box culvert along Manila North Road.<\/p>\n
