MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Two roads in Leyte are still impassable after tropical depression \u201cUrduja\u201d battered Eastern Visayas over the weekend, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported on Monday.<\/p>\n

In statement, Engr. Lino Francisco Gonzales of DPWH-Leyte Fourth District Engineering Office (LFDEO) said the roads affected are Kinanga-Tungonan-Hotspring Road in Barangay Lim-ao, Kananga and Libungao-Matag-ob-Palompon Road in Barangay Candelaria.<\/p>\n

Both thoroughfares have collapsed slope\/slope protection and cut\/drop pavements.<\/p>\n

With this, the DPWH has requested the immediate release of PHP120 million to rehabilitate the damaged roads.<\/p>\n

Although, he noted that these roads were already free from flooding, they are still impassable due to collapsed slope and damaged pavements due to heavy rains.<\/p>\n

The DPWH advised motorists to take Junction National-Barangay Monterbello-Aguiting-Lim-ao Road and Sto. Rosario-Villaba-Palompon Road as alternative routes to the affected sections.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Palompon-Isabel-Merida-Ormoc Road in Barangay Liloan, Ormoc City, which was earlier closed due road slips, has also been cleared and opened on December 17, 2017.<\/p>\n

All other national road networks under DPWH-LFDEO are now passable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
