The Department of Public Works and Highways DPWH) is pointing the finger at the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) as the one to blame for the delays in the EDSA re-blocking project.
In a Philippine Star report, DPWH Metro Manila director Rey Tagudando said late issuance of permits by the MMDA has caused delays in the re-blocking work being done on sections of EDSA.
Among the areas covered are Roxas Boulevard in Pasay to Jorge Vargas Avenue in Mandaluyong and Trinoma Mall in Quezon City to Monumento in Caloocan.
He noted that concrete reblocking efforts in other parts of EDSA are moving on schedule.
The DPWH official added that because of delays, they are expecting the project to be completed by September. However, that assumes the DPWH crew can work every weekend.
