“Following a meeting between Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) Chair Francis Tolentino and Public Works Secretary Rogelio Singson on Monday, the two officials agreed that the long-delayed PHP3.74-billion EDSA rehabilitation project would start after the completion of two other infrastructure works early in 2016 — the repair of Dario Bridge in Quezon City and the renovation of the Magallanes Interchange,” reports Maricar Brizuela in Philippine Daily Inquirer.
Tolentino said that although the project was important, it could wait while other major road works were still being implemented. He said doing the EDSA rehabilitation now would bring massive traffic jams.
The report noted: “According to Tolentino, the renovation of the busiest thoroughfare is expected to raise the height of the pavement by eight inches (from SM Mall of Asia in Pasay City to Balintawak in Quezon City).”
