MMDA: EDSA rehabilitation begins June 13
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced that the total rebuild of EDSA is set to begin on June 13.
MMDA Chair Romando Artes stated that the project is part of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s 'Build, Better, More' program and will include a massive information drive on schedules, plans, rerouting schemes, and traffic mitigation measures.
Department of Transportation (DOTr) Secretary Vince Dizon confirmed the timeline, noting that EDSA has not undergone a major rehabilitation in 45 years, hence the decision for a "total rebuild" rather than a standard rehabilitation.
The DOTr and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) are coordinating on the project details, with Artes indicating that some aspects may take two years to finalize.
The DOTr has assured the public that the EDSA Busway will remain operational throughout the construction period, with operations rerouted to utilize one lane designated for private vehicles.
