“The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has given itself until April 21 to complete work on the remaining 30,000-square-meter area it needs to repair on EDSA,” reports Jerry E. Esplanada in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.
The report noted that “the DPWH has targeted for rehabilitation 80,000-square meters of Edsa under a PHP230 million concrete re-blocking project. So far, it has finished working on 50,000 square meters.”
Reynaldo Tagudando, head of the DPWH-National Capital Region, was quoted as saying, “So far, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has approved our request to conduct piecemeal repairs during Holy Week. However, our planned road works in the next three weekends (March 28 to 30, April 4 to 6 and April 11 to 13) are still subject to MMDA approval.”
