As of 7 September 2024 at 8:00 AM, a section of Kennon Road in Camp 2, Tuba, Benguet, is currently not passable due to a road slip, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) Cordillera. The road slip has caused significant disruption to one of the region's key routes, and authorities are working to address the situation.

Details of the Incident

The road slip at Camp 2 has rendered the section of Kennon Road impassable, creating transportation difficulties for motorists and residents who rely on this road. Heavy equipment and manpower have already been deployed to clear the stockpiled debris and attempt to make the road partially accessible. However, at the moment, the road remains closed for safety reasons.

Alternate Routes

While efforts to restore the road are underway, the DPWH advises the public to use alternate routes to avoid further inconvenience. Motorists traveling to and from Baguio City can take the following routes:

  • Marcos Highway
  • Asin-Nangalisan-San Pascual Road

These routes will help ease traffic flow and provide access to those needing to reach their destinations until Kennon Road is cleared.

Safety Precautions and Travel Advisory

Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution when traveling through alternate routes, as increased traffic might lead to delays. Motorists should expect congestion, especially during peak travel hours, and plan their trips accordingly. Patience is necessary as crews work diligently to clear the affected section of Kennon Road.

Please stay updated on further advisories and announcements from local officials or the DPWH regarding the reopening of the road.

Restoring Access

The DPWH is committed to restoring access to Kennon Road as quickly as possible. With equipment and manpower already in place, the goal is to clear the debris and make at least one lane passable to ease the flow of traffic. However, given the unpredictable nature of road slips, it may take some time before the road is fully operational again.

In the meantime, travelers are encouraged to consider alternative routes, and authorities are continuously monitoring the situation to ensure safety and minimize delays.

What You Can Do

Residents and travelers are advised to follow the updates from local agencies and avoid unnecessary travel on Kennon Road until it's declared safe. Staying informed and planning ahead will help reduce the impact of the disruption on daily activities.
