00:00For the motorists who pass through the Edsa Kamuning flyover,

00:04it is expected that it will open early.

00:07When? Let's find out in Vel Custodio's report.

00:12The passengers who pass through the Edsa Kamuning every day are happy

00:16to hear that the Edsa Kamuning flyover is expected to open early.

00:21It's better, ma'am. It's better for the motorists.

00:26The traffic volume of the traffic will increase.

00:30Until then, the traffic can be low.

00:33When it opens early, it's better, ma'am.

00:36It's better for the motorists.

00:38Anytime, every day, always.

00:40When I pass through, I'm already having a hard time.

00:42The part where the Edsa Kamuning flyover was closed in May

00:46for the bi-phase retrofitting

00:48and the Edsa bus carousel that can pass through here today is old.

00:52At present, the bottom of the Kamuning flyover is being repaired

00:56and the deck slab is also being replaced.

00:58The reason why we closed the deck slab

01:03and why we closed the other vehicular traffic

01:07that can only pass through our buses

01:10is because we are replacing the deck slab.

01:15The initial target date is October

01:17for the top part of the Edsa Kamuning flyover to be repaired.

01:22But as of now, we can see that our accomplishment is

01:27we are expecting to complete the top part

01:32or the deck slab here in the Kamuning flyover

01:36before the end of August, instead of October.

01:40That's why it's possible for the road to be opened early

01:45in the first week of September.

01:48Once the Kamuning flyover is opened,

01:51the top part of the Magallanes flyover will undergo retrofitting.

01:54The Department of Public Works and Highways, National Capital Region

01:58was given the permit to close the road

02:01for the operation of the retrofitting of the Magallanes flyover

02:04every 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.,

02:06while it is open for vehicles to pass through the next hours.

02:11The construction of the Guadalupe Bridge was also postponed

02:14before the end of the year.

02:16There are only a few flyovers in the 14 NCRs

02:19that are in critical condition

02:21and may collapse if the Big One collides

02:24according to the study of the Japan International Cooperation Agency or JICA.
