The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has digitally mapped 167,103 kilometers of local roads and 17,229 bridges nationwide through its enhanced Local Roads and Bridges Inventory (LRBI), giving government planners one of the most comprehensive datasets on local infrastructure in the country and strengthening transparency in public works under President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s push for digital governance.

The system, managed by the DILG’s Office of Project Development Services (OPDS), supports the administration’s directive to expand digital transformation in government and ensure infrastructure planning is guided by reliable, real-time data.

As of December 31, 2025, the inventory shows that 30,525.13 kilometers are provincial roads, 16,784.66 kilometers are city roads, 15,965.73 kilometers are municipal roads, and 103,828.26 kilometers are barangay roads.

For bridges, the system lists 3,269 provincial bridges, 1,884 city bridges, and 12,076 municipal bridges nationwide.

Recognized under the Philippine Statistics Authority’s System of Designated Statistics, the LRBI serves as a key decision-support tool for policymakers, planners, engineers, and development partners involved in infrastructure planning, disaster risk reduction, urban development, and local economic growth.

The upgraded LRBI also introduces integrated road names, road importance classifications, and an improved user interface, making the platform easier to navigate while allowing more detailed analysis of infrastructure needs and investment priorities.

The DILG has urged all local government units to regularly update their road and bridge data in the system to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the national inventory.

With clearer and more accessible information, both national agencies and LGUs can better identify connectivity gaps, prioritize infrastructure investments, and align local development projects with broader national growth and disaster resilience strategies.

A netizen who commented during the platform’s launch described the LRBI as “very useful as a technical reference benefiting LGUs nationwide.”

The DILG said the continued enhancement of LRBI reflects the government’s push for stronger digital governance and more data-driven infrastructure planning to support local development across the country.
