DPWH to close EDSA Busway for rehabilitation; completion targeted by 2026
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will temporarily close the EDSA Busway this month for rehabilitation, with completion targeted by 2026.
DPWH-NCR Director Lorie Malaluan confirmed ongoing coordination with the DOTr and MMDA for traffic management measures.
The busway will be closed to allow for 24/7 construction work.
Buses may temporarily share lanes with private vehicles during the repairs, a proposal currently being evaluated by the DOTr.
The rehabilitation covers one northbound segment from Balintawak to Monumento, costing P300 million.
Fifteen southbound segments will be repaired from Monumento to Roxas Boulevard, estimated at P7 billion.
The project includes concrete pavement reinforcement and asphalt overlaying with anti-rutting modifiers.
DPWH has been directed to fast-track the rehabilitation to ensure the thoroughfare is ready before the Philippines hosts the ASEAN Summit.
