The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) will implement a "stop-and-go" traffic scheme in selected parts of EDSA starting Friday, August 4, until the morning of Thursday, August 10.
From Friday until Wednesday, August 9, the Department of Public Works and Highways will conduct asphalt overlay and road repair activities along the ESDA Carousel Bus lane, which prompted MMDA to implement the traffic scheme.
"About hundred meters doon sa mga site na gagawin, papalabasin natin yung bus para maiwasan yung ginagawang portion na sarado. After, papabalikin natin," MMDA chairperson Romando Artes explained on Friday during DZRH's Dos Por Dos.
"Yung second lane sa left, papatigilin natin everytime na may lalabas na bus," Artes said.
MMDA identified 15 areas where the asphalt overlay and road repair activities will happen:
- Fronting Hurom / Philam Homes
- Before Benitez St. (after Trinoma)
- HQ BBM (near Octoboy)
- DDT Skytower (Centris Station) - Albano
- Before Guadalupe Bridge (whole length)
- Rockwell Footbridge - Kalayaan (whole length)
- Footbridge before Trinoma – front Landmark
- Quezon City 2nd DEO Office – Centris
- Corinthians – after AFP
- Before MMDA (Sunshine Media Marketing)
- Guadalupe MRT – Guadalupe Bridge
- Footbridge Trinoma – SM North
- Front SM North and Nice Hotel – Muñoz footbridge
- Fronting Ricoa – Avida Towers
- Before Floor Central and Wilcon
MMDA advised motorists to take alternates routes, and Mabuhay Lanes in order to avoid the expected heavy traffic in the affected portions of EDSA.
