Following the closure of the U-turn slot near the Trinoma Mall and North Avenue along EDSA recently, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) announced the scheduled closure of another U-turn slot along EDSA to make way for the EDSA Busway project.
The U-turn slot (northbound and southbound) in front of the Quezon City Academy will be closed starting October 12, Monday at 12:01am.
Directional signages will be installed within the vicinity of the affected U-turn slot.
Directional signages will be installed within the vicinity of the affected U-turn slot starting October 5 to notify motorists of the impending closure.
Motorists are advised to take the following detour routes:
- From northbound going southbound, affected vehicles may take U-turn slot after Congressional Avenue (infront of Landers)
- From southbound going northbound, affected vehicles may take U-turn slot after Quezon Avenue Service Road (under Quezon Avenue flyover)
“The eventual closure of U-turn slots along EDSA will make commuter travel through the EDSA Carousel easier, more convenient, and faster,” MMDA Chairman Danilo Lim said.
The EDSA Busway project designates the innermost lane of EDSA as an exclusive lane for public utility buses.
