Artes also said the MMDA would be coordinating with various government agencies to manage traffic once the DPWH begins the 11-monthlong retrofitting of the southbound lane of the Edsa-Kamuning flyover in Quezon City on April 25.
“In the previous time that this happened, no ‘carmageddon’ occurred, so we’ll meet with the Quezon City local government, the barangay, Quezon City Police District, DPWH, Highway Patrol Group to manage traffic well,” he said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
He added that clearing operations would be carried out beforehand on “Mabuhay Lanes” or alternate routes in the Edsa-Kamuning area, to make these passable to motorists for the duration of the repairs.
According to the DPWH, the four-phase retrofitting will be done one-and-a-half lane at a time with the flyover remaining open. The Edsa bus carousel will not be affected. INQ
