Kennon road have some road repairs right now, but everything is manageable, even for night driving. Mga road expansions ang ginagawa- gutter, shoulders- medyo nilalaparan nila. Just passed Kennon at 4am kanina, ok naman, but of course, Kailangan pa rin ng ingat

To everyone who answered my question above, thanks. I forgot to to check this thread again hehe.

To anyone else curious about the coding scheme in Baguio, I found this somewhere and I'm reposting it here for whoever needs/wants it:

This always happens. Kung kelan naayos na ng halos buo yung Kennon, may darating na bagyo or matinding pag-ulan and then:

MANILA, Philippines – Landslides caused by Typhoon “Labuyo” prompted authorities to temporarily close Kennon Road to vehicles heading in and out of Baguio City on Monday, a Radyo Inquirer 990AM report said.
The report said the Department of Public Works and Highways advised Baguio-bound motorists to instead take Marcos Highway or Naguilian Road after Kennon Road was closed at 10 a.m. because of landslides and falling rocks.
Citing Benguet Vice Governor Nelson Dangwa and the Philippine National Police, Inquirer Baguio (*inquirer_baguio) posted on Twitter that Ampusongan-Sinipsip, Bokod-Kabayan and Baguio-Nueva Vizcaya roads were also closed due to landslides.
The DPWH told the public to cancel long trips, especially in typhoon-affected areas, to avoid road accidents.

We plan to go this weekend. bukas na kaya ang kennon after d landslides during typhoon labuyo? This will be my 1st time driving up there so we go at daytime. Just to have an idea for comparison, is the incline, curves, & road size similar with Emi road in Quezon (quezon national park)? Its just me & my wife on a 1.3 vios.

Yes, just about it but it's longer. I suggest you take Marcos hi-way as it's wider and not much zigzag as to Kenon. Baka gumapang yang 1.3 vios mo as you approach Lion head and beyond as that's the stiffest area of the route. Pabalik, you can take Kenon na.

Kaya ng vios yang kennon, no problem. Tricycle nga umaakyat ng kennon may 5 passengers at sako ng bigas sa roof e.

mas malapad ang marcos pero mas malayo. And for me mas matarik yung hairpin turns sa marcos. Sa kennon isa lang yung matarik na hairpin.

FX na 1.5L (all 64hp of it), nakakaakyat sa Kennon.
Multicab ng Quezon City Gov't, nakita ko na rin sa Kennon (or Marcos hiway) dati.

Kayang kaya ng Vios yan.

Mas madaling umakyat sa Kennon pero mas enjoy sa Marcos Hi-way. Mahaba kasing i-drive ang Marcos at mas marami kayong makikita . I suggest early morning (not later than 4am) kayo aalis ng QC para daytime na nasa akyatan kayo. Baka mahirapan ka pag abutan kayo ng madilim sa paakyat at lalo first time.

Thanks for the reply. Sa Kennon na kami dadaan. Kung hindi umuulan, as I've read sa previous posts.

I'm thinking alis ng 5am, but coming from San Jose City coz may puntahan pa kami dun a day before. I'll still be asking folks there how to get to Baguio, pero nakita ko na sa Google maps na may way going thru Pangasinan.
