The EDSA-Ortigas Interchange, a key traffic artery in Metro Manila, will reopen to light vehicles on Monday, providing relief to commuters and motorists. The reopening comes after a period of closure for repairs and upgrades, which aimed to improve the structure's safety and efficiency.
According to authorities, the interchange will be accessible to light vehicles starting Monday morning, with strict enforcement of speed limits and weight restrictions to ensure safety. Heavy vehicles, such as trucks and buses, remain prohibited pending further assessments.
Motorists are advised to expect continued moderate traffic flow as the area adjusts to the reopening. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) have coordinated to manage the transition and minimize disruptions.
"This is a significant milestone for our infrastructure recovery efforts. We urge motorists to follow traffic rules and cooperate with authorities," an MMDA spokesperson said.
The reopening is part of a broader initiative to rehabilitate major road networks in the capital, with similar projects underway in other congested areas.
