DPWH eyes completion of Tarlac Access Road by 2022
TARLAC CITY – The improvement of the 4.445-kilometer Jose V. Yap Sr. Access Road in San Jose, Tarlac is expected to be fully completed by next year, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
The project began in 2019 with the road opening of the four-lane road connecting Capas-Botolan Road to the Access Road leading to Tarlac Eco-Tourism Park, DPWH Tarlac 1st District Engineer Erelina Santos said.
Santos said the DPWH saw the importance of this road as an alternative route to well-known tourism destinations in the municipality of San Jose.
“Hence in 2020, our office completed the concreting of its 2.831-kilometer section equipped with road safety features such as guard rails and pavement markings to make travel safer and more enjoyable,” she added.
The access road will remain passable to motorists while road improvement activities are ongoing in its 1.072-kilometer section that are expected to be completed soon.
Meanwhile, Tarlac 1st District Engineering Office has already requested funding for the concreting of the remaining unpaved stretch of the access road.
