DoTr suspends PNR Naga-Legazpi due to typhoon damage
The Department of Transportation (DOTr) is prioritizing the repair of a Philippine National Railways (PNR) bridge in Albay that was damaged by Super Typhoon Uwan, following President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.'s directive.
The bridge, located in Guinobatan, Albay, suffered structural damage during the typhoon on November 9.
PNR engineers are awaiting safe weather conditions to conduct an immediate assessment of the damaged bridge.
The incident has led to the temporary suspension of PNR operations along the Naga-Legazpi route, impacting approximately 400 passengers daily.
To mitigate the disruption, the DOTr will coordinate with the LTFRB to deploy additional public utility vehicles in the affected area.
Additionally, the PNR will conduct a thorough inspection of the entire Bicol commuter train route to ensure the safety of other rail structures.
