DPWH naghahanda na sa Bagyong Siony; 23 kalsada, sarado pa rin
Inihayag ni Public Works and Highways Secretary Mark Villar na naghahanda na ang quick response teams ng kagawaran para sa Bagyong Siony.
“Our maintenance crew with equipment, including those that are still clearing roads due to typhoons Rolly, Quinta and Pepito, are now preparing for the incoming typhoon Siony. These teams are also trimming trees along national roads to minimize fallen debris during typhoons and expedite road opening,” pahayag ni Secretary Villar.
Sa ngayon, nasa 23 national road sections ang nananatiling sarado matapos ang magkasunod na Bagyong Rolly at Quinta.
Ayon sa kalihim, 14 road sections ang isinara dahil sa Bagyong Rolly kabilang dito ang siyam na kalsada sa Bicol Region, tatlo sa Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), tig-isa sa Region 3 at 4-A.
Samantala, siyam na kalsada naman ang nananatiling sarado bunsod ng Bagyong Quinta. Sa nasabing bilang, tatlo ay nasa CAR, dalawa sa Region 2, isa sa Region 3, dalawa sa Region 4-A, at isa sa Region 10.
“Rolly and Quinta has caused series of slides, fallen trees and electric posts, flooding, and road cut along national roads, rendering at least 35 road sections impassable. Our quick response teams with equipment have so far cleared and opened twelve (12) from these sections and we are working 24/7 especially in Bicol Region to ensure we assist affected areas that need relief operations,” ani Villar.
