EDSA rehabilitation pushed back to 2026
The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has again postponed the rehabilitation of EDSA, with major road works now expected to begin in late 2026 or early 2027.
This latest rescheduling is to prioritize infrastructure projects for the Philippines' hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit in 2026.
However, road works on a specific section of EDSA from Guadalupe Bridge to Pasay are still slated to start on May 15, after the midterm elections, as this area will be used by ASEAN delegates.
DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan stated that the rehabilitation will commence after the midterm elections, but the major rehabilitation effort will start in late 2026 or early 2027.
Malacañang has projected that up to P22 billion will be needed for the preparations for the ASEAN Summit hosting.
