More than P139-million worth of infrastructure was damaged by tropical cyclone “Enteng” that struck Luzon and Visayas recently, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).
Public Works Secretary Manuel Bonoan said that destruction left by continuous heavy rains and winds has affected several national roads, bridges, and flood control structures in five regions of Luzon and Visayas.
The partial cost of damage to infrastructure is broken down into P84.39-million damage to roads, P12.42 million on bridges, and P42.75 million on flood control structures.
By region, the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) reported the most damage to infrastructure at P49.43-million. Meanwhile, Region 2 reported P9.85 million in infrastructure damage, Region 5 with P34.85 million, Region 6 with P25.78 million, and Region 8 with P23.65 million.
The DPWH Disaster and Incident Management Teams have since reported the reopening of all 11 road sections that were affected by Enteng.
