Six Cordillera Roadlines Not Passable as of September 29, 2026

Six roadlines in Baguio City, Benguet, Ifugao, and Mountain Province are listed as not passable as of the morning of September 29, 2026, according to the latest road and travel advisory from DPWH-Cordillera. Kennon Road remains open to light vehicles only, with a maximum load limit of 5 tons.

The Department of Public Works and Highways-Cordillera Administrative Region (DPWH-CAR) said the advisory was based on reports gathered from 5:56 AM to 7:00 AM.

The advisory also states that all national roads and bridges in Abra, Apayao, Ifugao, Kalinga, and Mountain Province are passable. However, its detailed road status list identifies one roadline in Ifugao and another in Mountain Province as not passable. Motorists using these routes should therefore rely on the specific road conditions listed below and monitor subsequent DPWH-CAR updates.
