Motorists and commuters passing between Tiaong and Candelaria towns in Quezon province may want to take alternate routes as the Lagalag Bridge is not passable to heavy vehicles.

 

GMA News' Joseph Morong posted photos on Twitter Tuesday evening indicating the bridge has sustained cracks.

 

This is despite Lagalag Bridge being relatively newly constructed.
