Motorists are advised to take alternative routes due to the partial closure of the Kamuning Flyover, which will undergo rehabilitation lasting at least 6 months starting May 1. Maria Tan, ABS-CBN News </div>MANILA - The Department of Public Works and Highways-National Capital Region (DPWH-NCR) began its preliminary works at EDSA-Kamuning flyover in preparation for its retrofitting which will begin on May 1.DPWH-NCR director Engr. Loreta Malaluan told ABS-CBN News that 2 of the 3 lanes of the flyover will be closed to private motorists for about 6 months and only the bus way will be open while the project is ongoing.“Ang actual partial closure natin ay magsisimula sa May 1st. Ngayon ang isasara natin ay yung 2 lanes bale ang matitira lang ay yung portion ng bus carousel o bus lane. Mas maganda na yung mga buses lang ang padaanin, kasi alam mo naman yung iba nating drivers ‘pag may nakitang puwede pa nilang lusutan, magkakan-kanyang lusot yan that can cause more traffic and sakuna dun sa ating mga motorista,” Malaluan said.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/4/25/partial-closure-of-kamuning-flyover-starting-may-1-1526" id="isPasted">EDSA-Kamuning Flyover partially closed from May 1 </a></div>The government allocated P151 million for this project from the 2022 General Appropriations Act (GAA).Malaluan said the actual total contract price of the project is only P142.8 million.She explained that this retrofitting is part of the recommendations by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) to make critical structures in the Metropolis ready for a strong earthquake or “The Big One”.If there will be no more delays, Malaluan hopes to open the flyover to motorists after 6 months or by October this year.“It would take us more or less 6 months pero sabi nga namin 24/7 we will require the contractor na magdagdag ng kanyang manpower para bumilis at mabuksan natin ‘to sa mas madaling oras,” Malaluan said.The total contract duration according to Malaluan will last for 360 calendar days or about 11 months.Malaluan admits this will cause traffic in the area but assures the public that there are enough signages to guide affected motorists.<div><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/news/2024/4/22/abiso-mga-alternatibong-ruta-sa-pagsasara-ng-kamuning-flyover-1408" id="isPasted">ABISO: Mga alternatibong ruta sa pagsasara ng Kamuning flyover </a></div>“Yung sinasabi nating 6 months ito yung sa redecking, yung pagtatanggal nung apektadong slab dun sa ibabaw ng flyover, yun yung 6 months. Actually ang major activities natin ay nasa ilalim nung tulay. Inaashan na po natin na magkakaroon ng konting pagbagal ng traffic dito sa may Kamuning flyover at dun sa vicinity. Sa ngayon, pagplanuhan na po natin yung ating travel along EDSA,” Malaluan explained.MMDA Strike Force OIC head Gabriel Go said they are conducting a series of clearing operations on alternative routes for motorists including the Mabuhay lanes.“Nag-umpisa na po kami sa pag-clearing operations nito…with the closure of the Kamuning flyover, magdadagdag po tayo ng additional manpower to ensure that the traffic management is managed properly and itong mga alternare routes natin definitely maglalagay po tayo ng mga enforcers natin,” Go told ABS-CBN News.According to Go, the MMDA will deploy additional traffic enforcers in the area to manage the traffic situation together with the help of traffic personnel from the Quezon City LGU.
