Another U-turn slot to close along EDSA on Nov. 9
Heads up, motorists! The fourth U-turn slot that will be closed on EDSA is the one near Dario Bridge in Quezon City. (Photo from MMDA) The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said it will be closed to vehicular traffic on Monday (November 9). Per the agency, they have already installed signages on EDSA to inform motorists of the impending closure. The agency has advised affected motorists to take the following alternate routes: From northbound going southbound, they may take the U-turn slot near Oliveros Drive in front of Shell station. Those southbound, meanwhile, may utilize the U-turn slot beneath the EDSA-Quezon Avenue flyover. MMDA Chairman Danny Lim said the agency is one with the Department of Transportation (DOTR) in exploring ways to facilitate faster movement of both commuters and private motorists on EDSA, adding that the closure of 13 U-turn slots along EDSA are aimed at easing traffic congestion on the major thoroughfare. The MMDA said this will pave the way for the new EDSA Busway/ Carousel project of DOTR which designates the innermost lane as exclusive for buses travelling along the national highway. So far, MMDA has closed three U-turn slots — the ones near North Avenue, in front of Quezon City Academy and near Corregidor Street. The 13 U-turn slots are targeted to be closed by the end of this year to make travel time on EDSA faster, or at least reduced by 20 minutes from the opposing points of the major road. .....»»
