BORACAY – Traveling to this resort island is now more convenient with the completion of some P168-million worth of road projects undertaken by the Department of Public Works and Highways 6 (DPWH-6).

DPWH-6 Regional Director Rolando Asis said they have completed the construction and asphalt overlay of 10.271 kilometers of the island’s main access road amounting to some P111.8 million.

The DPWH-6 also completed concreting the 1.086-kilometer Bolabog to Lapus-Lapus road section worth P15 million and the 2.053-km Lapus-Lapus Fairway section amounting to P30 million.

There is also an ongoing construction of the P50-million circumferential road that covers the stretch of the Bolabog and Talubihan section with a length of about 2.4 kilometers, Asis said.

To further support development in Boracay, the DPWH-6 is also proposing for another 2.4-kilometer road opening in the island.
