The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Bulacan First District Engineering Office has begun the upgrading and rehabilitation of the half a decade damaged portions of the MacArthur highway in this town which earned the province of Bulacan the monicker as “Lubakan”.
The works in Guiguinto areas, which is the heavily damaged portions in the more than 30 kilometers stretch of the MacArthur highway started in April and is expected to be completed before the end of the second quarter of the year.
The upgrading and rehabilitation of Guiguinto sections are set for this year following the release of the budget only this 2024.
