What is the condition of Quirino Highway from Tagkawayan to Sipocot

[gregsp]

To all concerned tsikoteers who happened to pass by Quirino Highway this week, what is the road condition, malalaki ba ang mga lubak,wala bang roadslips gawa ng ulan this week, I'm planning to go to Bicol (Naga City) on Monday Aug. 7, 2006 advisable bang magdala ng car?

as much as possible, i would not recommend passing through quirino. I just went through quirino on July 25 and the condition could not be worse.
there are many one lane portions which would delay your travel greatly as well as severely damaged roads. what usually took an hour and thirty to forty five minutes to traverse the 93 km quirino took me over two hours and a half.
save yourself the aggravation and your car of a bad beating by passing through daet.

yet another glaring reminder of how corrupt our officials are. ever notice that the name of the quirino highway ('andaya' highway) is wholly appropriate? ie. an(g) daya!

yong sa bicol side, well maintained... meron gumagawa asap kahit patch repair, yong pabaya yong sa quezon side

I suggest you take the old national hiway, medyo mahaba nga lang ang byahe, but the road condition is okay.

you're welcome. anyway, the route which passes through daet is more scenic and more challenging to drive. it has got of elevation changes, with numerous s curves, some flat portions. plenty of variety. its really fun to nail apex after apex of the 's' curves. (just make sure there is no oncoming traffic)

kagagaling ko lang ng legazpi last weekend... dun kami dumaan nastranded kami for close to an hour dahil sa one-way traffic sa tagkawayan... would not recommend passing by there... not to mention ung mga lubak...

ano ba bagong gimik sa Bicol. Napapadalas yata ang mga taga tsikot doon ah.

[RedHorse]

sinisilip... baka umuwi ka na! nya ha ha ha ha

[afrasay]

medyo malubak pero ok lang...mas mabilis kaysa sa Daet (National Highway).

Mayon Volcano :D

wala pa din palang pinagbago sa highway na to for the last four years, and yes, road gets better on the camarines side, worst yung banda rito sa quezon part.

hhmm, ano kaya dahilan? opposition ba gov ng quezon? ...wala lang! thinking of politics could be the only reason.

oh, eto naman si afrasay alam ang national highway sa probinsya ko. Daet National highway? yung diversion road ba yon bago tumumbok ng Daet municipality mismo?

mayon volcano ba talaga? amf, kaya naman pala dumadagsa kayo dun.

RH, malamang 2008 pa.

pero yang lubak sa Quezon matagal na [20+ years na], jan ako nagigising kapag kumakalabog bintana ng Philtranco/Superlines eh, hehehe.
