00:00 Some parts of the EDSA busway and the emergency repairs are done.
00:04 The update and the updates on the effects of this on the traffic, especially back to work,
00:10 Monday, was brought to us by Rod Laguzad Live.
00:15 Angelique, the emergency road repairs on the roads of EDSA vehicles are very minimal or not affected by the MMDA.
00:27 While it is expected that this can be completed earlier than the first scheduled.
00:33 More than 90% of the emergency road repairs on the EDSA busway are done according to the MMDA.
00:42 The road repair started at 10 p.m. last Friday.
00:45 The MMDA said that it is included in the DPWH's reblocking and asphalt overlaying here.
00:52 Different parts of the EDSA from Buendia to Balintawak are included in the arrangement.
00:57 MMDA Chairman Atty. Don Artes explained that more than 50% of the sites that are doing road repairs are open to traffic.
01:05 The only thing that is expected is that it will be dry because there is a three-day curing period.
01:12 In fact, it will be earlier.
01:15 Many of them can be opened by Tuesday.
01:20 Only a few will be left by Wednesday.
01:23 In fact, all of them might be closed by Tuesday.
01:28 He also helped in the road repair.
01:32 He set the right time.
01:34 In total, the road repair was done at 11 sites.
01:38 The traffic was not that heavy this morning.
01:41 So far, our monitoring this morning, the traffic was not that heavy.
01:47 There were build-ups in some areas, especially in the middle of the road.
01:52 But I can say that it is still lighter or manageable.
01:58 Earlier this morning, here in the EDSA area near MRT North Avenue Station,
02:04 where currently or earlier, the EDSA part is closed in both the northbound and southbound busways for the EDSA carousel,
02:12 even though the road to Balintawak is continuous.
02:17 EDSA carousel buses need to pass through the next line on this side and return to the EDSA busway after this.
02:26 This weekend, Artes explained that the traffic was managed well,
02:30 even though there are many things being done along the EDSA busway.
02:34 In order to make and drive the roads properly,
02:42 in fact, the feedback from us, especially from the buses,
02:47 in the stretches that were finished and opened, especially those that were paved,
02:52 the travel was very smooth.
02:54 He hopes that the results in the areas that were re-blocked will be the same.
03:00 Because in these areas, the damage to the roads is already deep.
03:04 Angelique, here in the EDSA part near MRT North Avenue Station,
03:10 earlier, that segment was still closed, but now buses are passing through,
03:16 while the other, the northbound, is still closed in the traffic lane.
03:22 According to MMDA, they are chasing the right time,
03:26 because the rain can affect the re-blocking and asphalt overlaying.
03:32 According to MMDA, it's time for all the re-blocking and asphalt overlaying to be finished
03:38 because they expect that the travel along the EDSA busway will be smooth and fast.
03:46 Angelique?
03:47 Yes, Rod.
03:48 Is there a plan to re-block and asphalt lay the other lanes outside the EDSA bus carousel?
03:58 Angelique, before the EDSA busway was repaired,
04:07 MMDA and DPWH talked about it.
04:10 They agreed to do road re-blocking at the same time.
04:16 Because if they do this every weekend,
04:19 it will affect the traffic load on the EDSA busway.
04:25 But this template, where the bus will be together one time,
04:32 they can do this on other lanes where the effect will be minimal on the traffic load.
04:41 They already planned to do this.
04:45 Angelique?
04:46 Thank you very much, Rod Lagusan.
