Widening of Coron-Busuanga Road in Palawan under way — DPWH

The currently two-lane road will be improved to four lanes, Regional Director Wilfredo Mallari, of DPWH-Region 4A said; adding that aside from providing a better road for the transportation of goods, the road widening also aims to boost tourism in Coron and Busuanga towns.

“A P100 million widening project of Coron-Busuanga Road is already ongoing to meet the high demand of tourists from F.B. Reyes International Airport in Busuanga going to Coron town proper and vice versa. Once completed, this will result to improved road safety and traffic flow especially during summer peak season,” Mallari said.

According to the regional directot, a total of P2.26 billion will be needed to fully complete the widening of Coron-Busuanga Road which stretches 73.6 kilometers. “We hope for the continued funding of this project as this will support Coron’s tourism industry which is a driving force of job creation and poverty reduction in the area. Better roads will also provide convenience to locals especially small-scale traders transporting agricultural and fishery products to bigger markets,” Mallari added.

The widening of Coron-Busuanga Road which started in 2017 is being implemented by DPWH Palawan First District Engineering Office.
