DPWH nagtayo ng shore protection sa Agoo, La Union
Natapos na ng Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) ang dalawang bagong shore protection works sa northernmost coastal areas ng Agoo, La Union.
“We have constructed shoreline structures or groins along Barangays Sta. Rita Sur and Sta. Rita Central to serve as protection against coastal flooding,” pahayag ni DPWH Secretary Mark Villar.
Base sa ulat ni DPWH La Union Second District Engineer Gil Lorenzo, sinabi ng kalihim na kasama sa proyekto ang konstruksyon ng limang units ng 50-meter shore protection works (groins) na nagkakahalaga ng P23.5 milyon sa ilalim ng 2020 General Appropriations Act (2020).
Tinukoy ng Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (MDRRMO) ang dalawang barangay sa dulong Hilagang bahagi ng Agoo bilang ‘prone to storm surge’ lalo na tuwing panahon ng tag-ulan.
“We are confident that with protective infrastructure like this, residents and even tourists can be safe in the booming surfing spot of La Union,” saad ni Villar.
