The Department of Highways is a government agency responsible for the planning, construction, and maintenance of highways and roadways. Its primary goal is to ensure safe and efficient transportation for the public. This includes managing traffic flow, conducting road repairs, and implementing safety measures. In addition to maintaining existing roads, the Department of Highways also works on new projects to expand the highway system. This involves collaborating with engineers, urban planners, and local governments to design and build infrastructure that meets the needs of growing communities.
