The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will proceed with the second phase of EDSA rehabilitation from Nov. 13 to 16 despite the 49th ASEAN Summit.
DPWH Secretary Giovanni Lopez said road reblocking and asphalt overlay will be conducted along the southbound lane from Caloocan to Quezon City during the long weekend to minimize traffic disruption.
Motorists were advised to take alternate routes while the repairs are ongoing.
Meanwhile, Transportation Secretary Vince Dizon announced that the Department of Transportation (DOTr) will take over EDSA busway operations and footbridge maintenance in 2027.
The move aims to ensure sufficient funding and faster repairs of facilities, including elevators and lighting.
