The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has completed on time P7.74 billion big infrastructure projects in Northeastern and Southern Mindanao regions.

In her Mindanao agriculture tour today, the President will inspect these big completed infrastructure projects.

DPWH Caraga regional director Doctor Evelyn T. Barroso reported that P4.74 billion worth of various public works projects located at various areas in the region and some of the commitments of President Arroyo in her State-of-the-Nation Address (SONA) were already completed under 2009 budget.

Barroso said the DPWH Caraga has also completed ahead of schedule late last year and some early part of this month the 216 road projects and seven bridges totaling 63.519 lineal kilometers.

"The ground works of the Lingig-Boston Section is also on going without let up. Once all these projects are completed, it is expected to promote the development of agriculture and tourism in these areas," she said.

On the other hand, DPWH Davao has also completed on time P3.02 billion worth of big-ticket infrastructure projects promised by President Arroyo in her SONA in 2007.

DPWH Davao regional director Osop L. Ali said the agency has completed the P1.14 billion worth Manay section of Surigao Sur-Davao Oriental Coastal Road, which serves as the "main trunkline" of coastal municipalities of Davao Oriental in Southern Mindanao and Surigao del Sur and Surigao del Norte in Caraga region, leading to the main Pan Philippine Highway.
