Progress of the BurauenAlbuera Road...once finished, the road opening that passes through some barangay in Ormoc will significantly lower travel time from Tacloban to the other side of Leyte.

This road project, once completed, will shorten travel time from Tacloban City to Ormoc City and develop upland villages.

Motorists coming from the regional capital have to pass through eight towns to get to Ormoc City with a distance of 107 kilometers. In the new road, travelers will reach Ormoc from Tacloban by passing through five towns with a combined road length of 89 kilometers.

The project will also be a shorter route from Tacloban City to Baybay City, with a difference of 30 kilometers from the existing national road.

The allotment for BurauenAlbuera Road is part of the P5.08 billion infrastructure development program for the Eastern Visayas region. (PNA)
