In the same press briefing, the MMDA chief along with the DPWH also announced several road rehabilitation projects along Metro Manila, including the retrofitting of Edsa-Kamuning southbound flyover’s permanent bridges starting April 25.
The project, divided into four phases, would last about 11 months.
DPWH-National Capital Region project inspector Paul Chua noted, however, that the flyover would still be passable during the course of the retrofitting project.
