President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. says that while EDSA does need rehabilitation, the current plan would cause significant inconvenience and heavy traffic

MANILA, Philippines – President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has ordered the suspension of the EDSA rehabilitation project, which was set to begin on June 13 and would have implemented an “odd-even” coding scheme to restrict access to the metro’s main thoroughfare.

Marcos made the decision on Sunday, June 1, saying the government would develop a better plan to shorten the repair timeline to just six months to a year, instead of the original three-year schedule. He acknowledged that while EDSA does need rehabilitation, the current plan would cause significant inconvenience and heavy traffic.

The President didn’t not give a specific date on when the rehabilitation will resume.
