Continuous heavy rains in the past few days have eroded a portion of the road in Barangay Tabuan in Antequera town making it half-lane passable since Wednesday (Aug. 17).

Residents said that cracks were noticed in the area last week.

The heavy rains that had been pouring every afternoon for the past few days have saturated the soil underneath the road pavement along the road, causing a portion of the highway to collapse.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) first engineering district had inspected and cordoned the area.

One lane is passable along the highway.

Travelers are advised to take precautionary measures while traversing affected road.
