Eduarte said the additional augmentation would render assistance until the temporary repair works are completed.
DPWH-5 is hoping to bring back usage of the two lanes this weekend.
Meanwhile, the Land Transportation Office in Bicol (LTO-5) deployed drones to improve traffic monitoring and enforcement along Camarines Sur鈥檚 Sipocot-Lupi-Ragay route.
鈥淲ith the use of this advanced technology, traffic conditions can now be assessed more quickly and accurately,鈥� the agency said.
The drones provide real-time surveillance, making it easier for authorities to identify traffic violators and swiftly apprehend those engaging in counterflowing.
LTO-Bicol hopes this would serve as a warning to those who violate traffic laws.
