Picture this: You're cruising down a freshly paved road, the wind in your hair, and the promise of adventure ahead. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has just wrapped up a game-changing project that’s set to put Prosperidad, Agusan del Sur, on every traveler's map. The NRJ Mabuhay-San Lorenzo Road is now open, leading you to a treasure trove of natural wonders like Bega Park and Resort, Ugnop Caves, Hapon Falls, Tugonan Falls, and the soothing San Lorenzo Hot Spring. Let’s dive into how this new road is not just a route but a gateway to unforgettable experiences.



First things first, let’s talk about the road itself. Funded under the 2024 General Appropriations Act (GAA) with a whopping contract amount of P92.6 million, this road is more than just a strip of concrete. DPWH Secretary Manuel M. Bonoan, sharing insights from DPWH Region XIII Director Pol M. Delos Santos, emphasized that this project is all about enhancing connectivity and boosting tourism in Agusan del Sur. And boy, does it deliver!

The road is divided into two sections. Section 1 stretches for 1.09 kilometers, seamlessly connecting the existing roads to popular scenic spots. Meanwhile, Section 2, which spans 1.55 kilometers, bravely cuts through challenging terrains to offer easier access to natural wonders like Ugnop Caves and Tugonan Falls. Imagine the thrill of traveling these paths, each turn revealing a new sight to behold.


Now, let’s geek out a little on the engineering marvel that is the NRJ Mabuhay-San Lorenzo Road. Constructed with Portland cement concrete pavement, this road is designed for long-term durability. It’s not just about getting you from point A to B; it’s about ensuring you get there safely and comfortably.

Safety measures are top-notch. With reflectorized thermoplastic pavement markings, metal beam guardrails, and efficient drainage systems, your journey is as secure as it is scenic. It’s like the road itself is an assurance that you’re in for a smooth ride, allowing you to focus on the breathtaking views and the excitement of your destination.



With the road construction now complete, residents and tourists alike are in for a treat. Director Delos Santos shares the enthusiasm, highlighting how this development promises improved travel experiences and a significant boost to Agusan del Sur’s tourism sector. Picture it: local businesses thriving, new opportunities sprouting, and cultural exchanges flourishing as more visitors flock to explore.

This road isn’t just about convenience; it’s about transformation. It’s about turning Prosperidad into a hub of adventure and relaxation. From the soothing waters of San Lorenzo Hot Spring to the majestic Tugonan Falls, each destination along this road is a story waiting to be told, a memory waiting to be made.



So, what are you waiting for? Pack your bags, fuel up your car, and hit the road. The NRJ Mabuhay-San Lorenzo Road is your ticket to a world of exploration and wonder. Whether you’re a nature lover, a thrill-seeker, or someone looking to unwind, Agusan del Sur has something special for you.

As you travel this newly paved path, remember that it’s more than just a road; it’s an invitation to discover, to explore, and to experience the beauty of the Philippines in its purest form. The journey is just as beautiful as the destination, and the stories you’ll collect along the way are treasures that will last a lifetime.

In the end, the NRJ Mabuhay-San Lorenzo Road isn’t just a road. It’s a promise of new adventures, a catalyst for growth, and a testament to the wonders that await in Agusan del Sur. So, gear up and get ready to make memories that you’ll cherish forever. Happy travels!
