EDSA rehab unlikely to begin during Holy Week: DPWH
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has confirmed that civil works along EDSA will push through but are unlikely to begin during the Holy Week break.
DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan stated that the agency will focus on installing detour bridges, both southbound and northbound, during this period.
Major rehabilitation of the thoroughfare is now scheduled to commence after the ASEAN meeting and the May elections, with civil works potentially starting on May 15.
DPWH National Capital Region Director Loreta Malaluan confirmed that while there are adjustments being made with stakeholders, the project will proceed but not during Holy Week.
The rehabilitation project, which could take about one and a half years, aims to improve the road's durability and safety for motorists.
Officials have stated that the rehabilitation will be done in phases.
