MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 All national roads in Albay and Camarines Sur are already passable, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Public Works Secretary Mark Villar, who visited the typhoon-hit province Albay on Wednesday, said all national roads in the province have already been cleared by the DPWH teams with equipment from the DPWH Regional Office 5 and District Engineering Offices (DEOs).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019d like to extend our gratitude to DPWH Sorsogon 1st and 2nd DEOs with their additional manpower and equipment deployed in Albay that allowed us to fast-track the opening of roads affected by the recent super typhoon,\u201d he said in a statement.<\/p>\n

He added that they are also looking to augment DPWH teams in Catanduanes to “expedite our clearing operations in vital areas\u201d.<\/p>\n

As of 6 a.m. Thursday, three national roads in Catanduanes remain impassable to motorists due to landslide, fallen trees, and toppled electric posts.<\/p>\n

Clearing operations by DPWH Quick Response Teams are ongoing at the Catanduanes Circumferential Road, specifically in Barangay Balongbong, Bato; Barangay Libod, Pandan; Barangay Putting Baybay, San Andres; and some intermittent sections in the municipalities of San Miguel and San Andres.<\/p>\n

The DPWH is also working on fully opening hardly-passable or only one-lane passable road sections along Catanduanes Circumferential Road, from Belmonte, San Andres to Barangay Francia, Virac; also in Barangay Marinawa, Bato; in the municipalities of San Miguel San Andres.<\/p>\n

Likewise, the Junction Bato-Baras Road sections in the municipality of Bato, and intermittent sections of Baras-Gigmoto-Viga Road in the municipality of Baras are currently being cleared due to landslides, fallen trees, and electric posts.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the DPWH said the estimated damage to infrastructure including roads, bridges among others in the province has already reached PHP5.7 billion.<\/p>\n

Super Typhoon Rolly ravaged the Bicol Region on Sunday leaving thousands homeless and killing at least 20 people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
