The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) on Monday said seven national roads are still closed to traffic due to continuous rains.
Aside from the five roads closed on Saturday, the DPWH Bureau of Maintenance (BOM) said two additional road closures were reported in the Cordillera Administrative Region “due to soil and rock collapse.”
The two road sections are the Kalinga-Abra Road and the Mt. Province-Ilocos Sur Road.
“Quick Response Teams have been mobilized to conduct clearing operations along the affected sections,” the agency said.
The following are still impassable to all types of vehicles: Baguio-Bontoc Road, Abra—Kalinga Road, Junction Layac Balanga Mariveles Port Road Zigzag Section, and Pag-asa Section.
Likewise, the Apalit Macabebe Masantol Road and the Bigaa Plaridel via Bulacan & Malolos Section “are still closed to light vehicles due to flooding.”
“All other national roads and bridges in other affected regions are passable to all types of vehicles as of date,” the agency said.
