MANILA, Philippines — The rehabilitation of the collapsed section of the Baguio-Bontoc Road in Barangay Caliking, Atok, Benguet has begun.

In a statement Saturday, the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) reported that the thoroughfare has been a one-lane road with a stop-and-go traffic scheme for almost a year.

Public Works Secretary Vince Dizon has instructed the DPWH – Cordillera Region to install early warning devices for the safety of motorists and commuters during the repair period.
