Repairs on EDSA that began Friday night has led to traffic build-up on Saturday. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) meanwhile said it is planning a long-term solution.
Both directions of the EDSA Busway in CaloocanIn front of Corinthian Gardens past Camp AguinaldoFour other areas are in Makati City, from the Guadalupe Bridge to Rockwell Kalayaan FootbridgeMabuhay lanesRepair work would also be done on other roads such as Commonwealth Avenue, Quezon Avenue, and C5 Road, DPWH Secretary Manny Bonoan said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB on Saturday.
"[Kasama sa kukumpunihin] ang thoroughfares kasi may mga pothole na dapat kumpunihin hindi lang sa EDSA. May mga pothole because of ulan natin tumagal ng mahigit sampung araw yata. Na-soften yung pavement natin, mabibigat pa rin yung mga truck na dumadaloy diyan," he said."Asphalt ang ginagawa namin. Karamihan ng mga pothole natin ay asphalt pavement overlay kasi 'yun ang natutuklap," he said."May gagawin na kaming reblocking ng konti dito sa may bus carousel.
"Ang balak namin dito sa EDSA, kailangang magsagawa ng more permanent repairs, upgrading sa pavement ng EDSA para hindi laging nagre-reblocking," he said. "Ang pavement ng EDSA ay more than 50 years old na... That is the reason why may plano nang magsagawa ng permanent upgrading sa pavement ng EDSA... hindi 'yung nagre-reblock ng nagre-reblock tayo every weekend... Perpetual 'yan kung 'di natin gagawan ng permanent solution," he added.
"By next year planong umpisahan ang pagsasagawa ng malaki-laking upgrading sa EDSA pavement," Bonoan said.
