DPWH tasked to do immediate clearing operations

Heavy rains and strong winds have severely battered Luzon over the weekend as Typhoon Uwan unleashed its wrath in the country. This has caused several major highways and provincial roads to be declared impassable due to flooding, landslides, and fallen debris.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has identified a total of 31 national non-passable road sections, with 8 roads under limited access due to the effects of Typhoon Uwan. As of Monday morning, November 10, 2025, these are the following areas with closed roads:

The DPWH says its regional offices have already deployed heavy equipment and maintenance teams to begin clearing operations and restore access as the weather conditions improve. The Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) has already downgraded Typhoon Uwan to a severe tropical storm as it moves northwest and out of the Philippine Area of Responsibility.

But until then, motorists are strongly advised to check real-time road status updates before deciding to go out on the road and resume their travels.
