OVERNIGHT clearing operations by the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH-10) have made the Bukidnon-Davao City highway passable for all types of vehicles as of Wednesday afternoon.
The DPWH-10 posted a travel advisory on Facebook, informing the public that it is now safe to travel between Davao City and Bukidnon.
Office of Civil Defense-10 spokesperson Maybelle Galvez said that engineers managed to clear one lane of the highway in Barangay Kahusayan, Kitaotao town in Bukidnon, making it passable for all vehicles starting Wednesday afternoon.
Galvez noted that the vital highway linking Davao City to Bukidnon and Northern Mindanao was closed after two landslides hit the area on Tuesday night.
“The first landslide occurred around 7 pm, and the second around 9 pm. The road was impassable to all vehicles after the two landslides,” Galvez said.
She confirmed that no one was injured in the incident.
