Listen "21 Things You Need to Know About the EDSA Decongestion Masterplan"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 5:
If the Philippines is to achieve its full potential, then it must do something to cut losses due to traffic congestion in Metro Manila, which had gone up to P3.5 billion a day. It was at this point that Secretary Mark Villar presented the plan to decongest the 90-year-old EDSA, a 23.8-km circumferential highway which has long exceeded its maximum capacity of 288,000 vehicles a day.
The plan was not well received at the onset. Few believed it can be done. Four years after — with the completion of several big-ticket projects in Metro Manila, including the Skyway Stage 3, the NLEX Harbor Link, the Radial Road 10 Spur Link, the Laguna Lake Highway, the promise of returning EDSA back to its 1930 form is within arm’s reach.
