PUBLIC works personnel have mobilized a round-the-clock construction effort to erect a temporary Bailey bridge in Barangay Callawa following its structural collapse last week.
The original bridge was swept by raging flash floods on Tuesday, May 19, triggered by heavy torrential rains from the combined effects of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) and the easterlies.
Emergency teams have transitioned to an accelerated 24/7 shifting schedule to expedite the construction.
Local authorities emphasized that rebuilding accessibility is a top priority to restore the flow of goods, services, and daily commuters to and from the affected rural sectors.
While heavy machinery and construction crews occupy the site, local traffic and safety officials have urged the public to exercise heightened caution when navigating the vicinity.
Commuters and residents are strongly advised to strictly adhere to posted traffic advisories, detour signs, and safety protocols laid out by personnel on the ground to prevent accidents and ensure the safety of both motorists and construction workers.
