MANILA—The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will implement temporary lane closures on EDSA southbound beginning Friday night, October 30, to conduct the second phase of the metropolitan expressway's ongoing rehabilitation project.
The repair works will span three sections of the busy corridor, including areas near the NEPA Q-Mart Bus Station and adjacent zones. The DPWH has scheduled the closure to extend through the Undas weekend period, when traffic volumes typically surge as Filipinos travel to provincial areas to visit family tombs.
Motor vehicle operators traveling southbound during this period are advised to seek alternative routes or allow additional travel time to accommodate the temporary restrictions. The DPWH has not yet announced the specific completion date for this phase of repairs or provided details on potential traffic management measures.
The rehabilitation initiative is part of the government's broader infrastructure maintenance program to improve the condition of the capital's primary north-south arterial highway, which handles substantial daily traffic volumes.
