BAGUIO CITY — Kennon Road has again been temporarily closed to motorists and the general public since Monday due to falling rocks along the roadway amidst the onslaught of heavy torrential rains dumped by weather disturbances and the enhanced monsoon.
Authorities said the closure covers both northbound and southbound lanes and will remain in effect until further notice to protect motorists, commuters, and residents from potential rockfalls, landslides, and other road hazards.
Residents living within the affected areas of Kennon Road may still pass through, subject to proper identification, extreme caution, and assessment by authorities stationed in the area.
