PASIG CITY, June 22 (PIA) -- The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) today reopened the Dario Bridge U-turn slot in Quezon City to help ease traffic congestion on the northbound lanes of EDSA.
MMDA Chairperson Benhur Abalos said the reopening of U-turn slot at Dario Bridge aims to decongest traffic and reduce motorists’ travel time in the area.
“This would benefit the motorists because they can make a U-turn easily with a shorter route,” said Abalos.
He added that he already coordinated with the private contractor of the Common Station connecting the Metro Rail Transit and Light Rail Transit, a project of the Department of Transportation, which is located between SM North Edsa and Trinoma malls in Quezon City.
“I have requested BF Corporation to move back their fences at their work area to open more lanes for passing motorists and filled it with gravel so traffic obstruction could be avoided,” Abalos said.
He said the U-turn slot was previously closed to give way to the EDSA Bus Carousel. However, traffic studies showed that opening them would improve traffic flow in the area. (PIA NCR)
