Many people travel on the EDSA-Kamuning Flyover southbound road each day. But the road is now partly closed. This might make your daily commute harder. Motorcyclists and bikers who often use this route may face more challenges and disruptions.
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) said that starting from Friday, May 3, 2024, motorcycles cannot use the southbound lane of the EDSA-Kamuning service road. Instead, riders must take other routes like Scout Borromeo, Panay Avenue, Mother Ignacia Avenue, and Scout Albano. This change aims to reduce traffic jams and improve traffic flow in the area by moving motorcycle traffic to other roads.
Atty. Don Artes, the acting MMDA chairman, made this decision to reduce congestion on the service road. The MMDA Traffic Engineering Center data shows around 24,000 four-wheelers and 23,000 two-wheelers use the southbound flyover section daily.
The MMDA will clear all alternative routes for better traffic flow there. More traffic enforcers will oversee vehicle movement and guide drivers. The agency will also put up signs showing alternate routes, improving traffic management.
The EDSA-Kamuning Flyover bridge will be closed for six months. This shutdown is required to fix and strengthen the bridge’s structure. Drivers should use different roads during this time. The MMDA has recommended some other route options. You can find more details about these alternate routes in the linked article.
