A BRIDGE in Alcala, Cagayan on Monday collapsed.
The Piggatan Bridge in Alcala town which was built in 1974 gave way while several 10-wheeler trucks were passing over.
The collapse reportedly occurred around 5:30 p.m. Monday.
Piggatan Bridge fell as an 18-wheeler trailer truck loaded with palay was crossing.
No injuries have been reported.
Members of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), Philippine National Police-Alcala, and the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) immediately arrived at the area to conduct rescue and clearing operations.

Following the collapse, motorists are now forced to take a much longer route through Gattaran, Baggao, or Peñablanca, wherein travel time could take several hours, according to authorities.
