Whether it be by tending to the worsening traffic situation in major thoroughfares or ensuring the quality of its public works, these efforts are rooted in a desire to ease the challenges of daily life.
On its 126th anniversary, DPWH, with the motto "Serbisyong May Bilis", makes sure to uphold its mandate of service through these projects that aim to bring speed and efficiency to the lives of Filipinos.
MÉTRO MANILA TRAFFIC Metro Manila is suffering from its dismal state of traffic. To mitigate this everoverwhelming situation, DPWH has laid out some of its projects in hopes of easing the traffic flow in the roads of the Metro.
One of DPWH's milestones in the past years is Skyway Stage 3. The highway project has greatly aided motorists by cutting travel time from two hours down to 15-20 minutes from Buendia to Balintawak.
Meanwhile, the construction of the Tomas Claudio-Polytechnic University of the Philippines section of the Skyway is ongoing, with 22 sections out of 28 already completed.
