DPWH starts sharing EDSA bus lane with cars for rehab

Starting in March 2025, city buses on EDSA will share lanes with private vehicles during the road's rehabilitation, according to the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

The DPWH plans to reconstruct the innermost lane currently dedicated to commuter buses on the northbound section from Quezon City/Caloocan boundary to Monumento as part of the first phase.

DPWH Secretary Manuel Bonoan stated that bus operations will continue but with a relocated and shared lane for safety reasons, while new loading areas will be created in gaps within the work zone.

The DPWH confirmed that construction will start from northbound EDSA and move southward, with work expected to last two years. Bus stations will remain open during this period.

New DOTr Secretary Vince Dizon has approved the concept of shared roadways between buses and private vehicles for the duration of the EDSA rehabilitation.
