Manila, June 27 (Engineering Daily) -- The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is now working on the last three phases of the road upgrading project leading to Nancy Falls in Zamboanga City.
 

According to Region IX Director Jorge U. Sebastian Jr., the project involves the paving of a total of 17.3 kilometers of Junction National Highway – Ayala La Paz Road in Brgy. La Paz, with a total budget allocation of P650-million under the Tourism Road Infrastructure Program (TRIP) of the DPWH in convergence with the Department of Tourism (DOT).
 
Dubbed as Zamboanga City’s “Little Baguio”, the forested area of La Paz is now a place where people find relaxation due to its cold weather and scenic views.
 
“This improved road will spur livelihood opportunities for locals as it is seen to facilitate better transportation, hence promote tourism in the area,” Sebastian said.
 
The multi-year project has already completed upgrading a total of 6.16 kilometers of road while an additional of 2.7 kilometers will be finished before 2018 ends. The whole 17.3-kilometer stretch of road is expected to be fully accessible by 2019.
 
Prior to the road paving, people use habal-habal in traversing rough and often muddy road sections just to get to Zamboanga’s famous Nancy Falls, flower gardens, vegetable farms, and wildlife attractions.
