According to the Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (PDRRMO), several bridges remain impassable due to rising river levels.

Among those closed to vehicles are the overflow bridges in Brgy Mocag, Bagunot, San Isidro Taytay, Tallang, and Bitag Pequeño in Baggao.

The Nagtupacan Hanging Bridge is still inaccessible, while only 2- to 3-wheeled vehicles are allowed to cross the Cabaggan Bridge in Pamplona, which was previously damaged by Tropical Cyclone Marce.

Flooding has also affected roads in Gattaran, Baggao, Lallo, and Gonzaga, prompting continued monitoring by local authorities.
