The rehabilitation aimed to improve accessibility for local residents and travelers. This road project is in line with Congresswoman Bernos' commitment to fostering growth and improved access across Abra.

Revitalization of Sta. Rosa Road
The rehabilitation of Sta. Rosa Road represents progress toward Bernos’ mission to create a more developed Abra.

The new, safer road enables faster travel, while also increasing opportunities in areas such as trade, education, and healthcare.
Several upgrades were made during the road rehabilitation to improve safety and accessibility for the community. Key upgrades involved:

These enhancements are expected to significantly benefit the community by improving transportation efficiency and safety.
