 Villa Verde Trail in San Nicolas temporarily closed by landslides

THE local government of San Nicolas temporarily closed the Villa Verde Trail to all types of motor vehicles after a series of landslides occurred in some portions of Villa Verde Trail on account of incessant rains brought about by Typhoon Dodong last week.

It can be recalled that a week before Typhoon Dodong, the highway was declared not passable to allow a clearing team from the Department of Public Works and Highways to  remove boulders, rocks as well as debris were caused by a previous landslide.
