EDSA-Ortigas Interchange to reopen today

MANILA, Philippines — The EDSA-Ortigas Interchange southbound flyover in Mandaluyong will reopen today after it was closed for emergency repairs and structural assessment after a bus caught fire on April 24.

The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) conducted clearing operations and load testing yesterday to ensure public safety.

The DPWH said the EDSA-Ortigas Interchange would be reopened for light vehicles only as it continues to conduct assessment and repair works.

The DPWH shutdown the EDSA-Ortigas Interchange over the weekend to ensure the safety of motorists during the reinstallation of damaged road safety devices.

The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority will be implementing traffic measures to ensure continuous traffic flow while repairs and assessment activities are ongoing.
