The Ministry of Public Works - Maguindanao del Sur District Engineering Office, in cooperation with MNBSI Construction Services has finished the Concreting of a Road in the Municipality of South Upi, Maguindanao del Sur.

The road connects Brgy. Kuya and Brgy. San Jose (Phase 1). The project was completed nine days ahead of schedule with a contract time of 105 days and the actual completion of the project at 96.

The completion of this project has improved accessibility to the area and, consequently, paved way for an easier and more convenient transport of farm crops. Installed alongside the concrete road are solar-powered street lights, which provide better visibility for travelers at night, whether on wheels or on foot. The addition of these lights may also help deter potential dangers that may befall upon residents, making the area overall safer.

The BARMM Government maintains a strong, ongoing commitment to regional improvement. This project shows how such commitment is translated into progress for local communities in the region.
