DPWH to rehab EDSA southbound lane from mid-April to Nov

Public Works Secretary Manny Bonoan announced on Wednesday that the rehabilitation of EDSA's southbound lane will likely begin in mid-April and continue through November.

Bonoan suggested starting the project during Holy Week due to lighter traffic, but emphasized the need to complete the work by November to avoid holiday congestion.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) plans to undertake the rehabilitation in segments after years of reblocking for maintenance, beginning with the southbound direction from Pasay to Guadalupe and Balintawak to Caloocan.

Close coordination between Quezon City and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) is expected before EDSA repairs commence, as the MMDA has already identified alternate routes.

The DPWH also plans to reconstruct the Guadalupe bridge and will address the northbound section in 2026 after hosting ASEAN that year.

Bonoan assured that the project will be completed by November, considering the heavy traffic during the holiday season.
