BALANGA CITY, Bataan — The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has recently completed the construction of a covered court in Barangay Pto. Rivas here.
Implemented by the Bataan 2nd District Engineering Office, the project costs P2.9 million and is focused on completing the existing covered court, which now features significant upgrades that enhance its functionality, comfort and safety.
District Engineer Ulysses Llado highlighted that the facility’s key improvements include a new covered court slab, fresh paint, complete bench installations, enhanced drainage systems with catch basins and the addition of gate and perimeter grills to ensure safety for all users.
