BAGUIO CITY — Flooding along a section of Naguilian Road on Friday briefly disrupted traffic after heavy rains brought by Typhoon Inday (international name Bavi) inundated an ongoing drainage improvement project, prompting emergency clearing operations by city and public works personnel.
The flooding occurred at the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) project site in Barangay Irisan, where a cross-drainage structure is being widened to address recurring flooding.
Crews immediately cleared clogged drainage channels, allowing floodwaters to recede. By late afternoon, the DPWH announced that Naguilian Road (Quirino Highway) had been reopened to all vehicles, although motorists were advised to exercise caution due to continuing rains.
