MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Transportation (DOTr) has accomplished the EDSA Busway Rehabilitation’s first phase on January 4, providing convenience to passengers as work and classes resume in the first week of 2026.

Following the directives of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., Transportation Secretary Giovanni Lopez expressed his fulfillment over the completion of the asphalt overlay in the inner lane of the EDSA Busway from Roxas Boulevard to Orense in Makati City.

“Masaya tayong marinig na malaki ang tulong nitong rehabilitasyon sa busway lane, para sa ating mga kababayan na tumatangkilik sa EDSA Busway,” said Lopez.

“Mas mabilis at komportable na ang inyong biyahe lalo na sa mga babalik sa trabaho at eskwelahan dahil natapos on time ang rehabilitasyon sa lane ng busway,” he added.

In cooperation with the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) and the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), the PHP 6-billion EDSA Rehabilitation Project is reported to run until May 2026.
