8 roads closed, 17 with limited access due to floods

Eight national road sections across six regions remain closed due to floods caused by the southwest monsoon, Tropical Cyclone Crising, and two low-pressure areas.

The closures include one in Metro Manila, two in Ilocos Region, two in Central Luzon, one in Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR), one in Calabarzon, and one in Zamboanga Peninsula.

Additionally, 17 national road sections have limited access due to issues such as road cuts, flooding, precautionary measures, collapsed slope protection, and washed-out detour roads.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) advised that all other national roads and bridges in the affected regions are passable to all types of vehicles.

Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) warned of heavy rainfall in Metro Manila and several parts of the country due to the southwest monsoon and a low-pressure area inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility.
