Brace yourself for more traffic impediments.
“The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) will begin next week the rehabilitation of the Magallanes interchange, an endeavor that will last for at least eight months,” reports Evelyn Macairan in The Philippine Star.
DPWH National Capital Region director Reynaldo Tagudando explained that “the interchange is not in danger of collapsing, but there is a need to repair the 39-year-old structure, which was last retrofitted in the 1980s.”
Contractor JD Legaspi won the project.
Tagudando said that while the contractor will work on both lanes of the interchange’s third-level flyover along EDSA, there is no need to totally close the structure.
Tagudando explained, “There will be no road closure. There are two lanes (for each direction). We will only work one lane at a time and keep the other lane open for the public’s use. We will fix the pavement at nighttime.”
