DPWH modifies rules on Kennon truck ban

By Dexter A. See

BAGUIO CITY — The Cordillera office of the Department of Public Works and Highways here, upon consultation with the Regional Law Enforcement Coordinating Committee sub-committee on public works and infrastructure, issued modified rules in the implementation of the truck ban along Kennon road pending the rehabilitation of several alleged damaged bridges along the road.

Engineer Edilberto P. Carabbacan, DPWH regional director, said the previous truck ban advisory was modified pending assessment of three bridges along Kennon Road: Bridge 2 at Camp 7, Demonstration Bridge at Camp 6 and Camp 6 Bridge by the Bureau of Design as requested by truckers particularly sand and gravel haulers operators.

Under the new rules, vehicles coming from Baguio City going to Camp 6 quarry area and vice versa are allowed to pass through Kennon road, but they should abide by the safety measures provided.
