KORONADAL CITY, Nov. 27 (PIA) -- North Cotabato governor Emmylou “Lala” Taliño-Mendoza has ordered contractors of Digos-North Cotabato Road Improvement project to monitor sections under construction 24 hours a day and seven days a week.
In a recent meeting of the Provincial Project Monitoring and Advisory Group, Mendoza also emphasized the importance of flag men to ensure constant flow of traffic, especially in critical areas such as in blind curves.
She said having personnel to guide traffic is necessary even at night time to be able to immediately address accidents that might occur.
Local government officials also cited poorly constructed diversion section, lack of safety barriers and traffic signage, and absence of warning devices as among the immediate concerns that the contractors should take care of.
“With all the on-going developments in our highways, we still have to bear in mind the convenience and most of all safety of the riding public,” Mendoza told the contractors.
She also ordered LGUs to account project-related road accidents, report it to the local police station and enter it into the police blotter for proper investigation.
The governor also asked contractors to shoulder hospitalization for any accident that may occur in their respective jurisdiction.
Contractors, on the other hand, said that complaints on signage and early warning devices have already been addressed. However, according to them, unidentified individuals removed and redirected them.
They also assured the governor that other concerns raised during the meeting will be acted upon the soonest possible time.
According to data from the Department of Public Works and Highways – 12 (DPWH) website, the road improvement project has a total budget of P277.97 million. (PIA 12)
