The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has officially completed a P4.9-million road and drainage improvement project in the City of Meycauayan, Bulacan — bringing safer roads and better flood control to local residents.
The project covers the improvement of road sections including the construction and rehabilitation of drainage canals aimed at addressing long-standing flooding issues in several barangays. Meycauayan, being a low-lying city in Bulacan, has historically been vulnerable to monsoon rains and typhoons, making drainage infrastructure a critical priority.
With the completion of this project, residents and motorists in Meycauayan can expect improved road conditions and more effective water drainage during the rainy season. The upgraded infrastructure is expected to reduce flood risk and improve the daily commute for thousands of residents who rely on these roads.
The DPWH Bulacan 2nd District Engineering Office oversaw the implementation of the project as part of the agency ongoing efforts to improve connectivity and resilience across the province. This is in line with the national government broader infrastructure push under the Build Better More program.
Meycauayan City continues to see steady infrastructure development as its population and economic activity grow. The city, known for its jewelry and watchmaking industry, serves as a key commercial hub in Bulacan alongside neighboring cities like Marilao and Valenzuela.
