(FILE PHOTO) 6 February 2025: An EDSA bus travels along the thoroughfare’s carousel on 6 February 2025. The government is considering removing the EDSA bus lane, citing its overlap with the MRT-3 and the potential to ease traffic congestion. MMDA Chair Romando Artes discussed the proposal with President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. during a meeting on Metro Manila’s Comprehensive Traffic Management Plan (CTMP).

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) said Tuesday that the EDSA Bus Carousel will remain operational during the ongoing EDSA rehabilitation, with temporary lane relocations.
In a statement, the DPWH said the bus carousel will be moved to an adjacent lane while EDSA bus stations remain open.
“Once the closed segments from the first lane are fully rehabilitated, the EDSA bus lane will move back to its original lane to accommodate its regular operations,” the DPWH-National Capital Region (NCR) said in a statement.
“On the other hand, the construction works will move to the second lane from the EDSA bus lane up to the outer lane, one at a time,” it added.
Rehabilitation of the southbound portion of EDSA, which will be divided into 15 segments, will begin upon release of funds, according to the DPWH-NCR.
