EDSA rehab set for 2026 as agencies finalize plan
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Department of Transportation plan to begin the overhaul of Epifanio de los Santos Avenue (EDSA) by 2026, following the finalization of plans on December 17.
Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chairman Romando S. Artes confirmed that issues which previously stalled the project have largely been settled.
The MMDA is coordinating with the DPWH and the Department of Transportation to align engineering plans, utility relocations, and traffic management strategies.
The comprehensive rehabilitation of EDSA, Metro Manila's main thoroughfare, was previously postponed to late 2026 or early 2027 due to concerns about commuter and economic disruption.
The original timeline for the EDSA rehabilitation was set to begin in June and last for two years.
The DPWH is currently focused on reducing the project's estimated cost, previously around P15 billion, and seeking potential partners.
