00:00Meanwhile, the plan to reduce the amount of traffic on the road has started to be laid out
00:05once the rehabilitation of EDSA has started.
00:07The Transportation Department, Department of Public Works and Highways, and MMDA
00:13have already consulted the local governments that are in charge of EDSA.
00:16According to DPWH, they will do a complete overhaul of EDSA.
00:20All the concrete will be removed to see the foundation.
00:23The DOTR has promised that EDSA carousel will remain open to serve the public.
00:28The MMDA has also promised that all the options and proposals of the LGUs
00:33will be studied, including the possible implementation of the Odd-Even Scheme
00:36and the repair of the existing lanes.
00:40This is a major artery.
00:41If we close the lanes, the capacity of EDSA will be reduced.
00:45So, we are planning alternate routes and all.
00:50Our President is just prioritizing the convenience of our motorists.
